Question: James takes 5 oranges and breaks each orange into 8 pieces. He splits the pieces between 4 people. If an orange has 80 calories how many calories does each person get?
Answer: He makes 5 * 8 = 40 pieces. So each person gets 40 / 4 = 10 pieces. That means each person eats 10 / 8 = 1.25 of an orange. So each person eats 80 * 1.25 = 100 calories of orange. The answer is 100.

Question: Donna made a cake to take to a party where the guests ate half the cake. The day after the party, she shared half the leftovers with her brothers. The following day, she ate one piece as a midnight snack. Twice as many pieces as her snack were left. How many pieces was the cake to begin with?
Answer: Donna had 2 * 1 = 2 pieces of cake left. Before her snack, there were 2 + 1 = 3 pieces left. Those 3 pieces were half the leftovers, so she had 3 * 2 = 6 pieces before sharing with her brothers. Those 6 pieces were half the party leftovers, so the cake was 2 * 6 = 12 pieces before the party. The answer is 12.

Question: A plane flies between 4 cities; A, B, C and D. Passengers board and alight at each airport in every city when it departs and lands, respectively. The distance between city A and city B is 100 miles. The distance between city B and city C is 50 miles more than the distance between city A and city B. The distance between city C and city D is twice the distance between city B and city C. Calculate the total distance between city A and city D.
Answer: Since the distance between city A and B is 100 miles, and city B and C are 50 more miles apart than city A and B, then city B and C are 100 + 50 = 150 miles apart. The plane's total flying distance between cities A and C is 100 + 150 = 250 miles. The distance between city C and city D is twice the distance between city B and city C, meaning city C and city D are 2 * 150 = 300 miles apart. The plane flies a distance of 250 + 300 = 550 miles from city A to city D. The answer is 550.

Question: Jimmy wants to play in the inflatable swimming pool in his backyard. The swimming pool is empty and the garage is locked, so he cannot use the hose to fill the pool. He finds a 2 gallon bucket and calculates that it takes 20 seconds to fill the bucket from the tap and carry it to the pool where he pours in the water. If the pool holds 84 gallons of water, how many minutes will it take Jimmy to fill the pool?

It will take 84 / 2 = 42 trips to fill the pool with water. This will take Jimmy 42 trips * 20 seconds per trip = 840 seconds. This means that Jimmy will spend 840 seconds * 1 minute / 60 seconds = 14 minutes filling the pool. The answer is 14.
