Question: A car traveled 360 miles in 4 hours and 30 minutes. What was its speed in miles per hour?
Answer: There are 60 minutes in one hour, so the car traveled 360 miles in 4 hours + 30 minutes / 60 minutes / hour = 4.5 hours. In one hour, the car travels 360 miles / 4.5 hours = 80 miles / hour. The answer is 80.
[Question]Five years ago, there were 500 old books in the library. Two years ago, the librarian bought 300 books. Last year, the librarian bought 100 more books than she had bought the previous year. This year, the librarian donated 200 of the library's old books. How many books are in the library now?
[Answer]Last year the librarian bought 300 + 100 = 400 books. Thus, there were 500 + 300 + 400 = 1200 books as of last year. Therefore, there are 1200 - 200 = 1000 books now in the library. The answer is 1000.
Q: The school is organizing a trip to the museum. 4 buses were hired to take the children and teachers to their destination. The second bus has twice the number of people on it as the first bus.
