[Question]Ernest bought 50 meters of wire and cut it into 5 equal parts. He then used 3 parts of the wire. How many meters of wire is not used?
[Answer]Each part of the wire is 50 / 5 = 10 meters long. Ernest used 3 parts, then he used 10 x 3 = 30 meters of the wire. Therefore, 50 - 30 = 20 meters of wire is not used. The answer is 20.
Q: Tilly needs to sell 100 bags at $10 per bag to make $300 in profit. How much did she buy each bag for?
A: Tilly will make 100 x $10 = $1000 in total. She has spent $1000 - $300 = $700 on 100 bags. Each bag cost Tilly $700 / 100 = $7. The answer is 7.
Question: Leila eats cake almost every week. Last week, she ate 6 cakes on Monday, 9 cakes on Friday, and on Saturday, she ate triple the number of cakes she ate on Monday. How many cakes does Leila eat?

[Question]Bill is laying power cable for a new neighborhood. There are going to be 18 east-west streets that are 2 miles long and 10 north-south streets that are four miles long. It takes 5 miles of cable to electrify 1 mile of street. If cable costs $2000/mile, what is the total cost of cable for the neighborhood?
[Answer]First find the total distance of the east - west streets: 18 streets * 2 miles / street = 36 miles. Then find the total distance of the north - south streets: 10 streets * 4 miles / street = 40 miles. Then add the number of miles from each type of street to find the total distance: 36 miles + 40 miles = 76 miles. Then multiply that number by 5 to find the number of miles of cable needed: 76 miles street * 5 miles cable / mile street = 380 miles of cable. Then multiply that number by the cost of one mile of cable to find the total cost: 380 miles * $2000 / mile = $760,000. The answer is 760000.
[Question]Milly is figuring out how long she needs to spend studying. She knows that her math homework will take 60 minutes. Her geography homework will take half as long as her math homework, and her science homework will take time equal to the mean amount of time she spent studying math and geography. How many minutes does Milly spend studying?
[Answer]
First find how long Milly spends studying geography by dividing her math homework time by 2: 60 minutes / 2 = 30 minutes. Now find the total amount of time Milly spent on math and geography: 30 minutes + 60 minutes = 90 minutes. Now calculate the mean amount of time Milly spends on math and geography by dividing the total time spent by the number of subjects, which is 2: 90 minutes / 2 = 45 minutes. Now add the time Milly spent on all three subjects to find the total: 45 minutes + 30 minutes + 60 minutes = 135 minutes. The answer is 135.
