question：Mike is a huge football fan who watches every game his favorite team plays. This season, his team is playing 16 games, and Mike is particularly excited because none of these games are against the Arizona Cardinals, a team he does not like. Out of the 16 games, his team won 3/4 of them. How many games did Mike's team win this season?
answer：First, I need to determine how many games Mike's team won this season. They played a total of 16 games.Next, I know that they won three-fourths of these games. To find out how many games that is, I can multiply the total number of games by 3/4.So, 16 multiplied by 3/4 equals 12.Therefore, Mike's team won 12 games this season.
question：A TikTok user named Alex, who loves arts and crafts, decided to create a series of videos featuring 12 different artists. For each artist, Alex plans to create 3 craft projects inspired by their work. If it takes Alex 2 hours to complete each craft project, how many total hours will Alex spend creating all the projects for the series?
answer：First, determine the total number of craft projects Alex will create. Since there are 12 artists and each artist has 3 projects, the total number of projects is 12 multiplied by 3, which equals 36 projects.Next, calculate the total time required to complete all the projects. Each project takes 2 hours, so multiply the total number of projects (36) by the time per project (2 hours). This gives a total of 72 hours.Therefore, Alex will spend a total of 72 hours creating all the projects for the series.
question：Dr. Eleanor Timebridge, a renowned scientist known for her groundbreaking discoveries by drawing insights from historical events, is studying the timeline of significant scientific milestones. She has identified 5 key historical discoveries, each made exactly 50 years apart. If the first discovery was made in the year 1700, what year was the fifth discovery made?
answer：First, I recognize that there are five key historical discoveries, each made exactly 50 years apart.The first discovery occurred in the year 1700.To find the year of the fifth discovery, I need to calculate the total number of years between the first and the fifth discovery.Since there are four intervals between the five discoveries, each lasting 50 years, the total time elapsed is 4 multiplied by 50, which equals 200 years.Adding this 200 years to the year of the first discovery, 1700, gives us the year 1900.Therefore, the fifth discovery was made in the year 1900.
question：Jamie, an influencer who runs a popular travel blog, decided to collaborate with their friend Alex, a fashion influencer. Jamie recommended Alex's latest clothing line to their followers. As a result, Alex noticed an increase in sales. On the first day, 25 of Jamie's followers purchased items from Alex's collection. On the second day, the number of purchases doubled. By the third day, there were 10 more purchases than the second day. How many purchases were made in total over the three days?
answer：First, I'll determine the number of purchases made each day.On the first day, Jamie's followers made 25 purchases.On the second day, the number of purchases doubled, so that's 25 multiplied by 2, which equals 50 purchases.On the third day, there were 10 more purchases than on the second day. Therefore, the third day's purchases are 50 plus 10, totaling 60 purchases.Finally, I'll add up the purchases from all three days: 25 plus 50 plus 60 equals 135 total purchases over the three days.
question：Farmer Brown owns a large-scale, conventional farm that supplies produce to most of the supermarkets in his region. This season, he planted 1,200 acres of corn and 800 acres of tomatoes. Each acre of corn produces 150 bushels, and each acre of tomatoes yields 200 bushels. If the supermarket needs 180,000 bushels of corn and 160,000 bushels of tomatoes, how many bushels of surplus or deficit does Farmer Brown have of each crop after fulfilling the supermarket's needs?
answer：First, I need to determine the total bushels of corn and tomatoes that Farmer Brown has produced. For corn, he planted 1,200 acres, and each acre yields 150 bushels. Multiplying these gives the total corn production.Next, for tomatoes, he planted 800 acres, with each acre yielding 200 bushels. Multiplying these will give the total tomato production.After calculating the total bushels produced for each crop, I will compare these amounts to the supermarket's requirements. For corn, if the total produced is greater than the required 180,000 bushels, the difference will be the surplus. If it's less, the difference will be the deficit.Similarly, for tomatoes, I will compare the total produced to the required 160,000 bushels to determine the surplus or deficit.This comparison will provide the surplus or deficit for each crop after fulfilling the supermarket's needs.
question：Dr. Ali is a diligent academic researcher who is compiling a comprehensive bibliography of books written about or by Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi. He has already gathered 48 books, but he knows there are more to be found. Dr. Ali plans to visit three different libraries to complete his collection. In the first library, he finds 23 new books. In the second library, he finds 17 additional books. In the third library, he discovers 12 more books. How many books will Dr. Ali have in total once he finishes his visits to all three libraries?
answer：First, I need to determine the total number of books Dr. Ali has already collected, which is 48 books.Next, I'll add the number of new books he finds in each library. In the first library, he finds 23 new books. Adding this to his current collection: 48 + 23 = 71 books.Then, in the second library, he discovers 17 additional books. Adding these to his collection: 71 + 17 = 88 books.Finally, in the third library, he finds 12 more books. Adding these to his collection: 88 + 12 = 100 books.Therefore, after visiting all three libraries, Dr. Ali will have a total of 100 books.
