[Question]If Jason eats three potatoes in 20 minutes, how long, in hours, would it take for him to eat all 27 potatoes cooked by his wife?
[Answer]Since 1 hour is 60 minutes, 20 minutes is 20 / 60 = 1 / 3 of an hour. Eating 3 potatoes per 20 minutes is 3 / (1 / 3) = 9 potatoes per hour. At 9 potatoes per hour, it will take Jason 27 / 9 = 3 hours to eat all of the potatoes. The answer is 3.
Q: Liam is teaching art to a group of 10 students. He has 20 art kits that he hands out to the students to share, 1 art kit for 2 students. From those art kits half the students make 3 artworks each and half the students make 4 artworks each. How many artistic works does the whole class create?
A: There are 10 students in Liam's art class and 1 / 2 of them make a different amount of artworks than the other half, 1 / 2 x 10 = 5 students. 5 students make 3 artworks each, 5 x 3 = 15 artworks. The other 5 students make 4 artworks each, 5 x 4 = 20 artworks. Combined, the students in the class make 15 + 20 = 35 artworks. The answer is 35.
