Q: Isabelle works in a hotel and runs a bubble bath for each customer who enters the hotel. There are 13 rooms for couples and 14 single rooms. For each bath that is run, Isabelle needs 10ml of bubble bath. If every room is filled to maximum capacity, how much bubble bath, in millilitres, does Isabelle need?
A: In the rooms for couples, there are 13 rooms * 2 people per room = 26 people. So in total, there are 26 people in couples' rooms + 14 people in single rooms = 40 people in the hotel. As each person gets a bubble bath, Isabelle will need a total of 40 baths * 10ml of bubble bath per bath = 400ml of bubble bath. The answer is 400.

[Question]The number of math problems that Marvin practiced today is three times as many as the number of problems he solved yesterday. His friend, Arvin, has practiced twice as many math problems on each day. How many math problems have they practiced altogether if Marvin solved 40 math problems yesterday?
[Answer]If Marvin solved 40 math problems yesterday, he has solved 40 * 3 = 120 math problems today. The total number of math problems that Marvin has practiced is 120 + 40 = 160. Arvin has practiced twice as many as Marvin, so has practiced 160 * 2 = 320 problems. Together, Marvin and Arvin have solved 320 + 160 = 480 math problems. The answer is 480.
Q: Leila spent $40 which is 1/4 of her money on a sweater. She was then left with $20 after spending the rest of her money on buying pieces of jewelry. How much more did Leila spend on jewelry than on the sweater?
A: Since 1 / 4 of her money is $40, then Leila originally had $40 x 4 = $160. $160 - $40 = $120 was left after buying a sweater. Since she is left with $20, Leila spent $120 - $20 = $100 on jewelry. Therefore, she spent $100 - $40 = $60 more for jewelry than on a sweater. The answer is 60.
Question: A certain kind of wild mushroom has either spots or gills, but never both. Gilled mushrooms are rare, with only one growing for every nine spotted mushrooms that grow. A fallen log had 30 mushrooms growing on its side. How many gilled mushrooms were on the fallen log's side?
Answer:
There is 1 gilled mushroom for every 1 + 9 = 10 mushrooms. Thus, there were 30 / 10 = 3 gilled mushrooms on the fallen log's side. The answer is 3.
