question:Alice wants x folded paper cranes. She folds half by herself, and a friend folds a fifth of the remaining paper cranes for her. How many paper cranes does Alice still need to fold? If we know the answer to the above question is 400, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:Alice wants x folded paper cranes. She folds half by herself, which means she folds (1/2)*x paper cranes. The remaining number of paper cranes is x - (1/2)*x = (1/2)*x. A friend folds a fifth of the remaining paper cranes for her, which means the friend folds (1/5)*((1/2)*x) = (1/10)*x paper cranes. The number of paper cranes Alice still needs to fold is the remaining number of paper cranes minus the number folded by her friend: (1/2)*x - (1/10)*x = (5/10)*x - (1/10)*x = (4/10)*x = (2/5)*x. We are given that Alice still needs to fold 400 paper cranes, so we can write: (2/5)*x = 400. Solving for x, we get: x = 1000. The value of x is 1000. 1000 The answer is: 1000
question:What is the total amount spent by Nina when she purchases three toys at 10 each, two packs of basketball cards at 5 each, and five shirts at 6 each?
answer:Nina purchased three toys at 10 each, so she spent 3 * 10 = 30 on toys. She also purchased two packs of basketball cards at 5 each, so she spent 2 * 5 = 10 on basketball cards. Lastly, she purchased five shirts at 6 each, so she spent 5 * 6 = 30 on shirts. Therefore, the total amount spent by Nina is 30 + 10 + 30 = 70. 70 The answer is: 70
question:Determine the sum of the vectors begin{pmatrix} -5 1 -4 end{pmatrix} and begin{pmatrix} 0 8 -4 end{pmatrix}.
answer:To find the sum of two vectors, we simply add their corresponding components. So the sum of begin{pmatrix} -5 1 -4 end{pmatrix} and begin{pmatrix} 0 8 -4 end{pmatrix} is begin{pmatrix} -5 + 0 1 + 8 -4 + (-4) end{pmatrix} = begin{pmatrix} -5 9 -8 end{pmatrix}. Thus, the sum of the vectors is boxed{begin{pmatrix} -5 9 -8 end{pmatrix}}. The answer is: begin{pmatrix}-59-8end{pmatrix}
question:f Jennifer will be 30 years old in ten years and her sister Jordana will be three times as old as Jennifer at that time, how old is Jennifer's sister currently?
answer:If Jennifer will be 30 years old in ten years, that means she is currently 30 - 10 = 20 years old. If Jordana will be three times as old as Jennifer in ten years, that means Jordana will be 30 * 3 = 90 years old. Therefore, Jordana is currently 90 - 10 = 80 years old. 80 The answer is: 80
