Question: Gentry assembled a new 24 foot round pool in her backyard. To fill the pool with water, she used four hoses. Two of the hoses each deliver water at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. The other two hoses each deliver water at a rate of 3 gallons per minute. With a volume of 15,000 gallons, how many hours will it take to fill the pool?
Answer: Each of the two hoses delivers water at a rate of 2 gallons per minute, for a combined total of 2 * 2 = 4 gallons of water per minute. The other two hoses each deliver water at a rate of 3 gallons per minute, for a combined total of 2 * 3 = 6 gallons of water per minute. Thus, all four hoses deliver a combined total of 4 + 6 = 10 gallons of water per minute. With a volume of 15,000 gallons, it would take 15,000 / 10 = 1500 minutes to fill the pool. Converting to hours, it will take 1500 / 60 = 25 hours to fill the pool. The answer is 25.
[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.
Q: The pet shop grooms dogs. It takes 30 minutes to groom a poodle. It takes half as much time to groom a terrier as it takes to groom a poodle. They do not groom cats. If the pet shop grooms 3 poodles and 8 terriers, what is the total length of time it will take, in minutes?
A: At a rate of 30 minutes per poodle, 3 poodles will take 3 * 30 = 90 minutes. If it takes half as much time to groom a terrier as it takes to groom a poodle, it takes 30 / 2 = 15 minutes per terrier. At a rate of 15 minutes per terrier, 8 terriers will take 120 minutes. Thus, in total, it will take the pet shop 90 + 120 = 210 minutes to groom 3 poodles and 8 terriers. The answer is 210.
Question: Anderson makes mud masks for spa treatments. In every batch of mud that he mixes, he adds three sprigs of mint, and he adds two green tea leaves for every sprig of mint. He had to switch to a different kind of mud, which makes the other ingredients he adds half as effective. How many green tea leaves should Anderson add to a new batch of mud to get the same efficacy as before?
Answer: Anderson adds 3 * 2 = 6 green tea leaves in every batch of mud. They are half as effective in the new mud, so Anderson should ad 6 * 2 = 12 green tea leaves to get the same efficacy as before. The answer is 12.
[Question]Diane is playing poker with her friends and is not having very good luck. She starts with $100 and wins 5 hands for a total of $65 dollars to add to her $100.

[Answer]Diane started with $100 and won $65, for a total mid - game of $165. However, she ended up owing her friends $50, so she lost $165 + $50 = $215 she lost in all. The answer is 215.
[Question]Jimmy is setting up a garden. He has three plots: one plot for green beans, one plot for carrots, and one plot for corn. Each corn plant produces 5 times as many servings of veggies as each carrot, and each green bean plant produces half as many servings as each corn plant. If each carrot produces 4 servings of vegetables, and each plot has 9 plants, how many servings of vegetables is Jimmy growing?

First, find how many servings one corn plant produces by multiplying the number of carrot servings by 5: 4 servings * 5 = 20 servings. Then find how many servings one green bean plant produces by dividing the number of corn servings by two: 20 servings / 2 = 10 servings. Now multiply the number of servings per carrot plant by the number of carrot plants: 4 servings / plant * 9 plants = 36 servings. Do the same for corn: 20 servings / plant * 9 plants = 180 servings. And do the same for green beans: 10 servings / plant * 9 plants = 90 servings. Now add up the servings for all three types of plant: 36 servings + 180 servings + 90 servings = 306 servings. The answer is 306.
