[Question]Val has three times as many dimes as nickels. If she accidentally finds twice as many nickels as she has in her older brother's treasure box, and takes them for herself, what would be the value of money she has, in dollars, if she had 20 nickels before finding the new ones from her brother's treasure box?
[Answer]If Val currently has 20 nickels and finds twice as many nickels as she has in her older brother's treasure box, she will have 2 * 20 = 40 more nickels. The total number of nickels she'll have is 40 + 20 = 60. Since nickel is worth $0.05, the value of the nickels Val is having is 60 * 0.05 = $3. Val had three times as many dimes as nickels before she found the 40 new nickels, a total of 3 * 20 = 60 dimes. Since a dime has a value of $0.10, the value of the dimes that Val has is 60 * $0.10 = $6. Together, the value of the dimes and nickels Val has is worth $6 + $3 = $9. The answer is 9.
Q: Micah can type 20 words per minute and Isaiah can type 40 words per minute. How many more words can Isaiah type than Micah in an hour?
A: There are 60 minutes in an hour. Micah can type 20 x 60 = 1200 words in an hour. Isaiah can type 40 x 60 = 2400 words in an hour. Isaiah can type 2400 - 1200 = 1200 words more than Micah in an hour. The answer is 1200.
Question: One white rhino weighs 5100 pounds and one black rhino weighs 1 ton. How many pounds would 7 white rhinos and 8 black rhinos weigh in total?
Answer: 5100 * 7 = 35,700 pounds. 1 ton = 2000 pounds. 8 * 2000 = 16000 pounds. 35,700 + 16,000 = 51,700. Seven white rhinos and 8 black rhinos would weigh 51,700 pounds. The answer is 51700.
[Question]A high school bowling team's 3 members scored a total of 810 points in their first match. The first bowler scored 1/3 as many points as the second, and the second bowler scored 3 times as high as the third bowler. How many points did the third bowler score?
[Answer]Let x represent the score of the third bowler. Bowler 2:3x. Bowler 1:3x(1 / 3) = x. Total:x + 3x + x = 810. 5x = 810. x = 162 points. The answer is 162.
Q: Jonas is trying to expand his wardrobe. He has 20 pairs of socks, 5 pairs of shoes, 10 pairs of pants and 10 t-shirts. How many pairs of socks does he need to buy to double the number of individual items in his wardrobe?
A: First, we must recognize that all pairs of shoes and socks are actually two items each, whereas the pants and the t - shirts are individual items. Therefore there are 20 * 2 = 40 individual socks in 20 pairs of socks. Similarly, there are 5 * 2 = 10 individual shoes in 5 pairs of shoes. Therefore, Jonas has 40 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 70 individual items in his collection. To double this number, we perform 70 * 2 = 140. This means we need 140 - 70 = 70 new items to double the size. Since there are 2 individual socks in each pair, we take 70 / 2 = 35 new pairs of socks. The answer is 35.
