Q: Jan buys 1000 feet of cable. She splits it up into 25-foot sections. She gives 1/4 of that to a friend. She then puts half of the rest in storage. How much does she keep on hand?
A: She gets 1000 / 25 = 40 sections. She gives away 40 / 4 = 10 sections. So she keeps 40 - 10 = 30 sections. She keeps 30 / 2 = 15 sections on hand. The answer is 15.
Question: 40 kids are running a race. 10% of them pass the finish line in less than 6 minutes. Three times that number finish in less than 8 minutes. 1/6 of the remaining kids take more than 14 minutes. How many kids take more than 14 minutes?
Answer: First find how many kids finish in under 6 minutes: 40 kids * 10% = 4 kids. Then triple that number to find how many finish in less than 8 minutes: 4 kids * 3 = 12 kids. Then subtract those two numbers from the total number of kids to find the number of remaining kids: 40 kids - 4 kids - 12 kids = 24 kids. Then divide that number by 6 to find how many kids take more than 14 minutes: 24 kids / 6 = 4 kids. The answer is 4.
[Question]Selene buys two instant cameras at $110 and three digital photo frames at $120 each. She gets a 5% discount on all the items she purchased. How much does she pay in all?
[Answer]Two instant camera cost 2 x $110 = $220. Three digital photo frames cost 3 x $120 = $360. Thus, the total amount is $220 + $360 = $580. So, Selena gets a discount of 5 / 100 x 580 = $29. Therefore, Selena pays a total of $580 - $29 = $551. The answer is 551.
Q: It takes 30 minutes to make pizza dough and another 30 minutes in the oven for the pizza to cook. If one batch of pizza dough can make 3 pizzas but the oven can only fit 2 pizzas at a time, how many hours would it take for Camilla to finish making 12 pizzas?
A: Camilla needs 12 / 3 = 4 batches of pizza dough. 4 batches of pizza would require 30 x 4 = 120 minutes. Camilla needs to bake the pizzas 12 / 2 = 6 times. 6 times in the oven would take 30 x 6 = 180 minutes. Altogether, it would take 120 + 180 = 300 minutes to finish making 12 pizzas. 300 minutes is 300 / 60 = 5 hours. The answer is 5.
Question: The gummy bear factory manufactures 300 gummy bears a minute. Each packet of gummy bears has 50 gummy bears inside. How long would it take for the factory to manufacture enough gummy bears to fill 240 packets, in minutes?
