[Question]James decides to try and collect rare artifacts in the field. He spends 6 months researching before going on a 2-year-long expedition for his first find. The second artifact takes 3 times as long for the research and discovery. How long did it take him to find both?
[Answer]The research took 6 / 12 = .5 years. So it took 2 + .5 = 2.5 years for the first artifact. It takes 2.5 * 3 = 7.5 years for the second. So in total it took 2.5 + 7.5 = 10 years to find both. The answer is 10.
Q: Dane’s two daughters need to plant 5 flowers each to grow a garden. As the days passed, the flowers grew into 20 more but 10 of them died. Dane’s daughters harvested the flowers and split them between 5 different baskets. How many flowers ended up in each basket?
A: Two daughters planted 5 * 2 = 10 flowers. The flowers grew into 10 + 20 = 30 total. 30 - 10 = 20 flowers were left after 10 died. The daughters put 20 / 5 = 4 flowers in each basket. The answer is 4.
Question: Gary is buying chlorine for his rectangular pool, which is 10 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. Gary needs to buy one quart of chlorine for every 120 cubic feet of water in his pool. If chlorine costs $3 a quart, how much does Gary spend on chlorine?
Answer: First find the volume of the pool by multiplying the length by the width by the height: 10 ft * 8 ft * 6 ft = 480 cubic feet. Then divide the volume of the pool by the number of cubic feet one quart of chlorine can sterilize: 480 cubic feet / 120 cubic feet / quart = 4 quarts. Then multiply the number of quarts Gary needs to buy by the price per quart to find out how much money he spends: $3 / quart * 4 quarts = $12. The answer is 12.
[Question]Zoe made a total of $8,000 cleaning pools and babysitting. She babysat Julie three times as often as she babysat Zachary. The number of times she babysat Zachary was 1/5 the number of times she babysat Chloe. If Zoe made $600 babysitting Zachary, how much did she earn from pool cleaning?
[Answer]From babysitting Julie, Zoe made 3 * 600 = 1800 dollars, since she made $600 babysitting Zachary and she babysat Julie three times as often. Since she babysat Zachary 1 / 5 as often as she babysat Chloe, she made an additional 5 * 600 = 3000 dollars from babysitting Chloe. All together, the babysitting sessions made Zoe 600 + 1800 + 3000 = 5400 dollars. Subtracting babysitting payments from the total gives 8000 - 5400 = 2600 dollars. Zoe therefore made 2600 dollars cleaning pools. The answer is 2600.
[Question]Tomorrow, Pete must finish paying off the last $90 he owes on a bike. He goes through his wallet and finds two $20 bills. Checking his pockets, he finds four $10 bills. Unhappy that he doesn't have the entire amount, he suddenly remembers that he has plastic bottles that can be returned to his local store for cash. If the store pays 50 cents for each bottle, how many bottles will Pete have to return to the store?
[Answer]
Pete’s wallet contains 2 * 20 = 40 dollars. The money in Pete’s pockets is 4 * 10 = 40 dollars. In total Pete has 40 + 40 = 80 dollars. He owes 90 dollars on the bike and therefore needs 90 - 80 = 10 more dollars. Since 50 cents is ½ dollar, then the number of bottles required to get 10 dollars is 10 / (1 / 2) = 10 * 2 = 20 bottles. The answer is 20.
