Question: Mary just arrived at the beach. She has 4 times as many towels as Frances does. The total weight of their towels is 60 pounds. If Mary has 24 towels, how much do Frances's towels weigh in ounces?
Answer: Frances has 24 / 4 = 6 towels. They have 24 + 6 = 30 towels. Each towel weighs 60 / 30 = 2 pounds. Frances’s towels weigh a total of 2 * 4 = 8 pounds. Frances’s towels weigh a total of 8 * 16 = 128 ounces. The answer is 128.
[Question]Oprah has 3500 cars in her collection. If the average number of cars she gives away per year is 50, how many years will it take to reduce her car collection to 500?
[Answer]If Oprah wants to have 500 cars left, she will have to give away 3500 - 500 = 3000 cars. Since the average number of cars she gives away per year is 50, it will take her 3000 / 50 = 60 years to give away enough cars to have 500 left over. The answer is 60.

[Question]Chrystal’s vehicle speed is 30 miles per hour. Ascending the mountain decreases its speed by fifty percent, and descending the mountain increases its speed by twenty percent. If the distance going to the top of the mountain is 60 miles and the distance going down to the foot of the mountain is 72 miles, how many hours will Crystal have to pass the whole mountain?
[Answer]The vehicle's speed decreases to 30 x 0.50 = 15 miles per hour when ascending to the top of the mountain. So, the total time Crystal will have to spend going to the top of the mountain is 60 / 15 = 4 hours. And the speed of the vehicle increases by 30 x 0.20 = 6 miles per hour when going down to the foot of the mountain. So, the total speed of the vehicle when going down is 30 + 6 = 36 miles per hour. Thus, Chrystal will have to spend 72 / 36 = 2 hours to descend from the mountain. Therefore, the total hours she will spend to pass the whole mountain is 4 + 2 = 6 hours. The answer is 6.

They have $27 for the party because 15 + 12 = 27. They have $12 for soda because 27 - 15 = 12. They can buy 4 bottles of soda because 12 / 3 = 4. They have 48 servings of soda because 4 x 12 = 48. Each guest gets 6 servings because 48 / 8 = 6. The answer is 6.
