question：An urban planner is designing a café layout that must comply with local zoning requirements. The zoning rules state that there must be at least 1.5 square meters of space per customer. The café owner wants to accommodate 40 customers at a time. In addition to the customer area, the café needs a kitchen that takes up 30 square meters and a restroom area that takes up 10 square meters.What is the minimum total area in square meters required for the café to meet the zoning requirements and the additional space needed for the kitchen and restroom?
answer：First, I need to calculate the area required for the customers. The zoning requirement is 1.5 square meters per customer, and the café wants to accommodate 40 customers. So, I'll multiply 1.5 by 40 to find the customer area.Next, I'll add the area needed for the kitchen, which is 30 square meters, and the restroom area, which is 10 square meters. By summing these three components, I'll determine the total minimum area required for the café to meet all the zoning requirements and additional space needs.
question：An executive sponsor is overseeing a project to implement process automation in a company. The project aims to automate 75% of the company's 200 manual processes over the next year. Once automated, each process will save 12 hours of manual work per month. If the executive sponsor successfully automates the targeted percentage of processes, how many total hours of manual work will be saved per month?
answer：First, I need to determine the number of processes that will be automated. The company has 200 manual processes, and the goal is to automate 75% of them.Next, I'll calculate the total hours saved per month by multiplying the number of automated processes by the hours saved per process each month.Finally, I'll present the total hours saved in a clear and concise manner.
question：A rancher owns a piece of land adjacent to a protected area. The rancher's property is rectangular and measures 120 meters along one side that borders the protected land, and 80 meters along the adjacent side. The rancher needs to build a fence along the two sides that do not border the protected land. If the cost of materials is 15 per meter of fencing, how much will it cost the rancher to build the fence?
answer：First, I need to determine the dimensions of the rancher's property. The property is rectangular, with one side measuring 120 meters and the adjacent side measuring 80 meters.Since the rancher only needs to fence the two sides that do not border the protected land, I'll calculate the total length of fencing required. This includes one side of 120 meters and one side of 80 meters.Adding these together, the total fencing needed is 120 meters plus 80 meters, which equals 200 meters.Next, I'll calculate the cost of the fencing. The cost per meter is 15, so multiplying 200 meters by 15 per meter gives a total cost of 3,000.
question：Principal Green believes strongly in the positive impact of sports clubs and after-school activities on student wellbeing. This year, she has a budget of 12,000 to allocate for these activities. She decides to support three main clubs: the soccer club, the basketball club, and the dance team. She wants to give the soccer club twice as much funding as the basketball club and the dance team 500 more than the basketball club. If the total amount allocated to these clubs is 11,500, how much does each club receive from the budget?
answer：First, I need to define variables for the funding allocations. Let ( B ) represent the amount allocated to the basketball club. According to the problem, the soccer club receives twice as much as the basketball club, so the soccer club's allocation is ( 2B ). The dance team receives 500 more than the basketball club, so their allocation is ( B + 500 ).Next, I'll set up an equation that sums up all the allocations and equals the total budget of 11,500:[B + 2B + (B + 500) = 11,500]Combining like terms, the equation simplifies to:[4B + 500 = 11,500]Subtracting 500 from both sides gives:[4B = 11,000]Finally, dividing both sides by 4 to solve for ( B ):[B = 2,750]Now that I have the value of ( B ), I can calculate the allocations for the soccer club and the dance team:- Soccer Club: ( 2B = 5,500 )- Dance Team: ( B + 500 = 3,250 )
question：A seasoned farmer is looking to expand his farm by purchasing additional land. The farmer currently has 50 acres of land. With the help of a real estate agent, he finds two suitable plots for expansion. The first plot is 30 acres, and the second plot is 45 acres. The farmer decides to purchase both plots. How many total acres of land will the farmer have after buying both plots?
answer：First, I note that the farmer currently owns 50 acres of land.He is considering purchasing two additional plots: one that is 30 acres and another that is 45 acres.To find the total land the farmer will have after the purchase, I need to add the size of both plots to his current land.Adding 30 acres and 45 acres gives a total of 75 acres.Finally, adding this to the original 50 acres results in a total of 125 acres.
question：Dr. Smith, an experienced oncologist, sees 15 patients each day. She spends an average of 30 minutes with each patient discussing treatment plans and providing care. On Fridays, Dr. Smith dedicates an additional 2 hours to a special session where she mentors aspiring healthcare students, including those she inspired to pursue a career in the medical field. How many hours in total does Dr. Smith spend working on a typical Friday?
answer：First, I need to determine how much time Dr. Smith spends with her patients each day. She sees 15 patients and spends 30 minutes with each one. Calculating the total patient time: 15 patients × 30 minutes = 450 minutes.Next, I'll convert the patient time from minutes to hours: 450 minutes ÷ 60 = 7.5 hours.On Fridays, Dr. Smith also spends an additional 2 hours mentoring students.Finally, I'll add the patient time and the mentoring time to find the total working time on a typical Friday: 7.5 hours + 2 hours = 9.5 hours.
