question：Nathan loves musical theatre and is helping organize a small community show. For one of the performances, he is in charge of arranging seats. There are 5 rows of seats, and each row has 8 seats. Additionally, he wants to set up a special front row for VIP guests with 6 more seats. How many seats will Nathan have in total for the show?
answer：First, I need to determine the number of seats in the regular rows. There are 5 rows with 8 seats each, so I'll multiply 5 by 8 to get 40 seats.Next, there's a special front row for VIP guests with 6 additional seats. I'll add these 6 seats to the 40 seats from the regular rows.Finally, by adding the regular seats and the VIP seats together, I find the total number of seats Nathan will have for the show.
question：Dr. Smith, a seasoned public health researcher, spends her week doing various activities related to her work. She spends 12 hours per week providing guidance and career advice to young researchers. In addition, she spends twice as much time analyzing public health data and three times as much time preparing research publications. How many hours does Dr. Smith spend in total on these three activities each week?
answer：First, I identify the time Dr. Smith spends on each activity. She spends 12 hours providing guidance and career advice.Next, she spends twice as much time analyzing public health data, which is 2 multiplied by 12 hours, totaling 24 hours.Then, she spends three times as much time preparing research publications, which is 3 multiplied by 12 hours, totaling 36 hours.Finally, I add up the time spent on all three activities: 12 hours + 24 hours + 36 hours, which equals 72 hours in total.
question：An alumnus of Christ's College, Cambridge, decides to visit their alma mater. During their trip, they plan to visit the college library and the famous chapel. If the alumnus spends 2 hours at the library and 1 hour at the chapel, and they also spend 45 minutes walking around the college grounds, how much time in total do they spend at Christ's College?
answer：First, I need to identify all the activities the alumnus is doing at Christ's College and the time spent on each.The alumnus spends 2 hours at the library, 1 hour at the chapel, and 45 minutes walking around the college grounds.To calculate the total time spent, I'll convert all the time into the same unit. I'll convert hours into minutes for easier addition.2 hours at the library is equal to 120 minutes.1 hour at the chapel is equal to 60 minutes.45 minutes is already in minutes.Now, I'll add up all the minutes:120 minutes (library) + 60 minutes (chapel) + 45 minutes (walking) = 225 minutes.Finally, I'll convert the total minutes back into hours and minutes:225 minutes is equal to 3 hours and 45 minutes.So, the alumnus spends a total of 3 hours and 45 minutes at Christ's College.
question：In a small town in Alabama, a Pro-life advocacy group is organizing a community event to raise awareness and support for their cause. They plan to distribute informational pamphlets and host a series of talks. The group has prepared 150 pamphlets and plans to hand out 3 pamphlets to each family that attends. If 25 families are expected to attend, how many pamphlets will the group have left after distributing them to the families?
answer：First, I need to determine the total number of pamphlets the group has, which is 150.Next, I'll calculate the number of pamphlets that will be distributed. Since each family receives 3 pamphlets and there are 25 families attending, the total distributed pamphlets will be 3 multiplied by 25, which equals 75.Finally, to find out how many pamphlets are left, I'll subtract the distributed pamphlets from the total available. So, 150 minus 75 equals 75 pamphlets remaining.
question：A seasoned political analyst is writing a new book on political trends. They plan to write 3 chapters per week. Each chapter takes them 4 hours to complete, and they dedicate 2 hours every day to analyzing data for their book. If they work 6 days a week, how many hours will they spend on writing and analyzing data in 5 weeks?
answer：First, I need to determine the total number of chapters the analyst will write in 5 weeks. They write 3 chapters per week, so over 5 weeks, that's 3 multiplied by 5, which equals 15 chapters.Next, I'll calculate the time spent writing these chapters. Each chapter takes 4 hours to complete, so 15 chapters will take 15 multiplied by 4, resulting in 60 hours of writing time.Then, I'll calculate the time spent analyzing data. The analyst dedicates 2 hours each day to this task and works 6 days a week. So, each week they spend 2 multiplied by 6, which is 12 hours. Over 5 weeks, this amounts to 12 multiplied by 5, totaling 60 hours of data analysis.Finally, I'll add the writing time and data analysis time together to find the total hours spent. 60 hours of writing plus 60 hours of data analysis equals 120 hours in total.
question：Dr. Adams, a dedicated war-zone medical doctor, is stationed in a conflict area where she treats many patients daily. On Monday, she treated 24 patients. She shared her experiences and inspired a group of volunteers to assist her. On Tuesday, with the help of 3 volunteers, the team was able to increase the number of patients treated by 50% compared to Monday. On Wednesday, due to an urgent situation, Dr. Adams and her team had to work extra hard and managed to treat twice as many patients as they did on Tuesday. How many patients did Dr. Adams and her team treat over these three days?
answer：First, I'll determine the number of patients treated on each day.On Monday, Dr. Adams treated 24 patients.On Tuesday, with the help of 3 volunteers, the team increased the number of patients by 50% compared to Monday. To find this, I'll calculate 50% of 24 and add it to the original number.For Wednesday, the team treated twice as many patients as they did on Tuesday. I'll multiply the Tuesday's patient count by 2 to find this number.Finally, I'll add up the patients treated on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to get the total number of patients treated over the three days.
