Answer the following question.
Jerry is refilling the duck pond in his backyard during a drought. The pond can hold 200 gallons of water. Jerry's hose can normally pump 6 gallons/minute, but due to drought restrictions, it can only pump 2/3rds as fast right now. How many minutes will it take Jerry to fill his pond?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the current rate the hose pumps by multiplying its normal rate by 2 / 3: 6 gallons / minute * 2 / 3 = 4 gallons / minute. Then divide the number of gallons in the pond by the number of gallons pumped each minute to find how many minutes filling the pond takes: 200 gallons / 4 gallons / minute = 50 minutes.
The answer is 50.

Answer the following question.
Darryl sells melons on the side of the road. He sells cantaloupes for $2 each and honeydews for $3. He started the day with 30 cantaloupes and 27 honeydews. He accidentally dropped a couple of cantaloupes and three of the honeydews turned out to be rotten. At the end of the day he had 8 cantaloupes and 9 honeydews left. How much money did he make?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He dropped two cantaloupes and had 8 left over at the end of the day, so he sold 30 - 2 - 8 = 20 cantaloupes. Three honeydews were rotten, and he had 9 left at the end of the day, so he sold 27 - 3 - 9 = 15 honeydews. He sold 20 cantaloupes * $2 / cantaloupe = $40 in cantaloupes. He also sold 15 honeydews * $3 / honeydew = $45 in honeydews. Altogether he made $40 + $45 = $85.
The answer is 85.

Answer the following question.
A book has 8 chapters. Beth has read 2 chapters in 3 hours. If she continues reading at that rate, in how many hours will she be able to finish reading the remaining chapters?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Beth still needs to read 8 - 2 = 6 chapters. She can read 1 chapter in 3 / 2 = 1.5 hours. Therefore, she will be able to finish reading the remaining chapters in 1.5 x 6 = 9 hours.
The answer is 9.

Step-by-step reasoning process: First take out the cost of the concessions. That leaves $76 - $12 = $64 for the movie tickets. Each child ticket costs $7, so two children's tickets cost $7 per child ticket * 2 child tickets = $14. To find the amount spent on adult tickets, subtract the cost of the children's tickets to get $64 - $14 = $50 for adult tickets. Divide $50 for adult tickets / 5 adults = $10 per adult ticket.
The answer is 10.
