Question: James works for 240 minutes. He takes a water break every 20 minutes and a sitting break every 120 minutes. How many more water breaks does he take than sitting breaks?
Answer: First find the number of water breaks James takes: 240 minutes / 20 minutes / water break = 12 water breaks. Then find the number of sitting breaks James takes: 240 minutes / 120 minutes / sitting break = 2 sitting breaks. Then subtract the number of sitting breaks from the number of water breaks to find the difference: 12 breaks - 2 breaks = 10 breaks. The answer is 10.
[Question]William and Harry played 15 rounds of tic-tac-toe. William won 5 more rounds than Harry. How many rounds did William win?
[Answer]They played 15 rounds and William won 5 more rounds than Harry so that leaves 15 - 5 = 10 round. There are 2 players and 10 rounds so they each won 10 / 2 = 5 rounds. William won 5 more rounds than Harry and they each won 5 rounds so William won 5 + 5 = 10 rounds. The answer is 10.
Q: Sylvie is feeding her turtles. Each turtle needs 1 ounce of food per 1/2 pound of body weight. She has 30 pounds of turtles. Each jar of food contains 15 ounces and costs $2. How much does it cost to feed the turtles?
A: She needs 60 ounces of food because 30 / .5 = 60. She needs 4 jars of food because 60 / 15 = 4. It will cost $8 to feed them because 4 x 2 = 8. The answer is 8.
Question: There are 24 marbles in a jar. Half are blue. There are 6 red marbles. The rest of the marbles are orange. How many orange marbles are there?

[Question]Two birds making a nest each made 10 round trips collecting building materials. If the building materials were located 200 miles from where they were building the nest, what is the total distance the birds covered in the trips?
[Answer]In one round trip, traveling to and from the building materials location, one bird covers 2 * 200 = 400 miles. If in one round trip one bird covers 400 miles, in 10 round trips, it covers 400 * 10 = 4000 miles. Since there were two birds collecting the materials, they covered a combined 4000 + 4000 = 8000 miles collecting the building materials in 10 round trips. The answer is 8000.
[Question]Kara has to drink 4 ounces of water every time she takes her medication. Her medication instructions are to take one tablet three times a day. She followed the instructions for one week, but in the second week, she forgot twice on one day. How many ounces of water did she drink with her medication over those two weeks?
[Answer]
Kara drinks 4 * 3 = 12 ounces of water with her medication each day. In a week, she drinks 12 * 7 = 84 ounces of water with her medication. In two weeks, she drinks 84 * 2 = 168 ounces of water with her medication. One day, she forgot two tablets, so she did not drink 2 * 4 = 8 ounces of water. Thus, Kara drank 168 - 8 = 160 ounces of water with her medication over two weeks. The answer is 160.
