[Question]Amelia has laundry to do. She has a load of whites that will take 72 minutes in the washing machine and 50 minutes in the dryer. She has a load of darks that will take 58 minutes in the washing machine and 65 minutes in the dryer. She has a load of colors that will take 45 minutes in the washer and 54 minutes in the dryer. If she does one load at a time, how long will it take her to wash and dry all three loads, in minutes?
[Answer]It will take her 72 minutes in the washer + 50 minutes in the dryer = 122 minutes for the whites. It will take her 58 minutes in the washer + 65 minutes in the dryer = 123 minutes for the darks. It will take her 45 minutes in the washer + 54 minutes in the dryer = 99 minutes for the colors. Altogether, it will take 122 minutes for whites + 123 minutes for darks + 99 minutes for colors = 344 minutes to do the laundry. The answer is 344.
Q: Karen’s work tote bag is twice the weight of her husband Kevin’s briefcase when the briefcase is empty. When Kevin puts his laptop and work papers in his briefcase, it is twice the weight of Karen’s tote. Kevin’s work papers are a sixth of the weight of the contents of his full briefcase. If Karen’s tote weighs 8 pounds, how many more pounds does Kevin’s laptop weigh than Karen’s tote?
A: Kevin’s full briefcase is 2 * 8 = 16 pounds. His empty briefcase is 8 / 2 = 4 pounds. The contents of his briefcase weigh 16 - 4 = 12 pounds. His work papers weigh 12 / 6 = 2 pounds. Thus, his laptop weighs 12 - 2 = 10 pounds. Therefore, Kevin’s laptop weighs 10 - 8 = 2 pounds more than Karen’s tote. The answer is 2.
Question: Sally needs to make a tablecloth that measures 102 inches by 54 inches. She also needs to make 8 napkins that are 6 by 7 inches. How many square inches of material will Sally need to make the tablecloth and the 8 napkins?
Answer: Tablecloth = 102 * 54 = 5508 square inches. Napkins = 8 * (6 * 7) = 336 square inches. 5508 + 336 = 5844 square inches. Sally will need 5844 square inches of material to make the tablecloth and 8 napkins. The answer is 5844.
[Question]Dirk sells amulets at a Ren Faire. He sells for 2 days and each day he sells 25 amulets. Each amulet sells for 40 dollars and they cost him 30 dollars to make. If he has to give 10% of his revenue to the faire, how much profit did he make?
[Answer]He sold 2 * 25 = 50 amulets. So he made 40 * 50 = $2000. The faire took 2000 * .1 = $200. So he kept 2000 - 200 = $1800. The amulets cost 50 * 30 = $1500 to make. So he had a profit of 1800 - 1500 = $300. The answer is 300.
[Question]An old car can drive 8 miles in one hour. After 5 hours of constant driving, the car needs to get cooled down which takes 1 hour. How many miles can this car drive in 13 hours?
[Answer]
In 5 hours the car can drive 8 * 5 = 40 miles. One cycle of driving and pause takes 5 + 1 = 6 hours. In 13 hours this cycle can fit 13 / 6 = 2 full cycles with a remainder of 1 hour. Two cycles will last for 2 * 6 = 12 hours. During two full cycles, the car will drive 40 * 2 = 80 miles. So there is 13 - 12 = 1 remaining hour when the car can drive. That means during 13 hours the car will be able to drive 80 + 8 = 88 miles. The answer is 88.
