Q: John has 10 members of his family on his father's side. His mother's side is 30% larger. How many people are there in total?
A: His mother's side is 10 * .3 = 3 people larger than his father's side. So his mother's side has 10 + 3 = 13 people. So the total number of people is 13 + 10 = 23. The answer is 23.
Question: Linda is building a new hotel with two wings. The first wing has 9 floors and each floor has 6 halls each with 32 rooms. The second wing has 7 floors each with 9 halls with 40 rooms each. How many rooms are in the hotel total?
Answer: First find the number of rooms per floor in the first wing: 32 rooms / hall * 6 halls / floor = 192 rooms / floor. Then find the total number of rooms in the first wing by multiplying that number by the number of floors: 192 rooms / floor * 9 floors = 1728 rooms. Then find the number of rooms per floor in the second wing: 40 rooms / hall * 9 halls / floor = 360 rooms / floor. Then find the total number of rooms in the second wing by multiplying that number by the number of floors: 360 rooms / floor * 7 floors = 2520 rooms. Then add the total number of rooms in each wing to find the overall total: 1728 rooms + 2520 rooms = 4248 rooms. The answer is 4248.
[Question]Edward the plumber is replacing a pipe in a bathroom wall. He needs to use 40 feet of copper pipe to complete the job. For every 5 feet of pipe, Edward must use one tightening bolt, and for every bolt, he uses two washers. He buys a bag of 20 washers for the job. After he completes the bathroom job, how many washers will be remaining in the bag?
[Answer]If Edward needs to use 1 bolt per every five feet of piping, then for a job requiring 40 - feet of piping, he will use 40 / 5 = 8 tightening bolts. If for every 1 bolt he uses two washers, then he will need 8 * 2 = 16 washers to complete the job. if he buys a bag containing 20 washers, and removes 16, he will have 20 - 16 = 4 washers remaining in the bag. The answer is 4.
