[Question]Kristine traveled to Paris in France to visit her friend. On the way, she has driven a train for 300 km and a bus for half that distance. After arriving in the city, she had to take a cab and drove three times fewer kilometers than she rode the bus. How many kilometers in total had Kristine traveled to reach her destination?
[Answer]Kristine traveled on the bus 300 km / 2 = 150 km. With the cab, she had to drive 150 km / 3 = 50 km. In total she had to cover 150 km + 50 km + 300 km = 500 km. The answer is 500.
Q: A chocolate cake needs 3 eggs per cake. Cheesecake requires 8 eggs for each cheesecake. How many more eggs are needed for 9 cheesecakes than are needed for 5 chocolate cakes?
A: Eggs in cheesecakes = 8 * 9 = 72. Eggs in chocolate cake = 5 * 3 = 15. 72 - 15 = 57. Nine cheesecakes need 57 more eggs than 5 chocolate cakes. The answer is 57.
Question: Fran's school just instituted a school uniform policy. Each student needs to buy five complete uniforms, each consisting of pants, shirt, tie and socks. The pants cost $20, the shirt costs twice as much as the pants, the tie costs 1/5 as much as the shirt and the socks cost $3/pair. How many dollars will each student need to spend?
Answer: First find the total cost of the shirt: $20 * 2 = $40. Then find the total cost of the tie: $40 / 5 = $8. Then find the cost of one uniform set: $20 + $40 + $8 + $3 = $71. Then multiply the cost of each set by the number of sets each student has to buy to find the total cost: $71 / set * 5 sets = $355. The answer is 355.
[Question]Lady Bird uses 1 1/4 cup flour to make 9 biscuits. She’s hosting this month's Junior League club which has 18 members and wants to make sure she allows 2 biscuits per guest. How many cups of flour will Lady Bird need?
[Answer]There will be 18 members and she wants to allow 2 biscuits per member so that’s 18 * 2 = 36 biscuits. Her biscuit recipe yields 9 biscuits and she needs to make 36 biscuits so she needs to make 36 / 9 = 4 batches of biscuits. 1 batch of biscuits uses 1 1 / 4 cup flour and she needs to make 4 batches so she will use 1.25 * 4 = 5 cups of flour. The answer is 5.
Q: John started weightlifting when he was 16. When he first started he could Clean & Jerk 80 kg and he could Snatch 50 kg. He manages to double his clean and jerk and increase his snatch by 80%. What is his new combined total lifting capacity?
A: His clean and jerk goes to 80 * 2 = 160 kg. His snatch increases by 50 * .8 = 40 kg. So his snatch is now 50 + 40 = 90 kg. So his total is 160 + 90 = 250 kg. The answer is 250.

If California had half the number of Coronavirus cases in New York, then the number of cases was 2000 / 2 = 1000 cases. California had 400 more cases than the state of Texas, thus Texas had 1000 - 400 = 600 cases. The total number of Coronavirus cases in all of the three states is 600 + 1000 + 2000 = 3600 cases. The answer is 3600.
