question:f the combined cost of a pen and a pencil is 6, and the pen is priced at twice the cost of the pencil, what is the price of the pen?
answer:Let's assume the cost of the pencil is P. Since the pen is priced at twice the cost of the pencil, the cost of the pen is 2P. The combined cost of the pen and pencil is 6, so P + 2P = 6. Combining like terms, we have 3P = 6. Dividing both sides by 3, we find that P = 2. Since the cost of the pencil is 2, the cost of the pen is 2 * 2 = 4. 4 The answer is: 4
question:f Clinton has 2 more belts than hats, and currently has 5 hats, and twice as many shoes as belts, how many shoes does Clinton have in his wardrobe?
answer:If Clinton has 2 more belts than hats, and currently has 5 hats, then he has 5 + 2 = 7 belts. If Clinton has twice as many shoes as belts, then he has 7 x 2 = 14 shoes. Therefore, Clinton has 14 shoes in his wardrobe. 14 The answer is: 14
question:After Angeli and Marlon each ate 3/2 slices of a whole pizza that was cut into 8 slices, how many slices of pizza are remaining?
answer:If the whole pizza was cut into 8 slices, and Angeli and Marlon each ate 3/2 slices, then they ate a total of 3/2 + 3/2 = 6/2 = 3 slices. If there were 8 slices in total, and 3 slices were eaten, then there are 8 - 3 = 5 slices remaining. 5 The answer is: 5
question:the past week, John has been struggling with sleep and was only able to get 3 hours of sleep on 2 of the days. On the other days, he managed to get only 60% of the recommended 8 hours of sleep. What is the total amount of sleep he received this week?
answer:John got 3 hours of sleep on 2 days, so he got 3 x 2 = 6 hours of sleep on those days. On the other days, he got 60% of 8 hours, which is 0.6 x 8 = 4.8 hours of sleep each day. There are 7 days in a week, so he got 4.8 x 5 = 24 hours of sleep on those days. Therefore, the total amount of sleep John received this week is 6 + 24 = 30 hours. 30 The answer is: 30
