question:Ryan's party was 4 times as huge as Taylor's birthday party. If both parties combined had 240 people, how many people were there at Ryan's party?
answer:Let's assume the number of people at Taylor's party is x. Since Ryan's party was 4 times as huge as Taylor's party, the number of people at Ryan's party is 4x. The total number of people at both parties is x + 4x = 5x. We know that the total number of people at both parties is 240, so 5x = 240. To find x, we divide both sides of the equation by 5: x = 240/5 = 48. Therefore, the number of people at Ryan's party is 4x = 4*48 = 192. 192 The answer is: 192
question:During the Easter egg hunt, Kevin found x eggs, Bonnie found 13 eggs, George found 9 and Cheryl found 56. How many more eggs did Cheryl find than the other three children found? If we know the answer to the above question is 29, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:Kevin found x eggs, Bonnie found 13 eggs, and George found 9 eggs. The total number of eggs found by Kevin, Bonnie, and George is x + 13 + 9 = x + 22. Cheryl found 56 eggs. The difference in the number of eggs Cheryl found compared to the other three children is 56 - (x + 22) = 34 - x. We are given that the difference is 29, so we can write: 34 - x = 29. Solving for x, we get: x = 5. The value of x is 5. 5 The answer is: 5
question:f Rick has just turned 15 years old and his oldest brother is twice his age, his middle brother is a third of the oldest brother's age, and the youngest brother is half the middle brother's age, with the youngest brother being 2 years younger than the smallest brother, what is the age of the youngest brother?
answer:If Rick is 15 years old, then his oldest brother is 15 x 2 = 30 years old. The middle brother is a third of the oldest brother's age, so he is 30 / 3 = 10 years old. The youngest brother is half the middle brother's age, so he is 10 / 2 = 5 years old. And since the youngest brother is 2 years younger than the smallest brother, his age is 5 - 2 = 3 years old. 3 The answer is: 3
question:To finish the task assigned to her by the work supervisor in the stipulated deadline, Anie needs 5 hours extra aside from the normal work schedule each day. If each day her work schedule requires her to be productive for 10 hours, and the project is estimated to take 1500 hours, calculate the number of days it would take Anie to finish the job.
answer:Anie's normal work schedule requires her to be productive for 10 hours each day. But she needs an additional 5 hours each day to finish the task on time. So, Anie needs to work a total of 10 + 5 = 15 hours each day. The project is estimated to take 1500 hours in total. To find out how many days it will take Anie to finish the job, we divide the total number of hours by the number of hours she works each day: 1500 / 15 = 100. Therefore, it will take Anie 100 days to finish the job. 100 The answer is: 100
