question:If there are a total of 52 Oreos and James has 7 more than 4 times the number of Oreos Jordan has, how many Oreos does James have?
answer:Let's use algebra to solve this problem. Let the number of Oreos Jordan has be represented by the variable J. Then, James has 7 more than 4 times that number, or J + 7 = 4J. Next, let's set up an equation and solve for J. We know that there are a total of 52 Oreos, so: J + (J + 7) + J = 52 This simplifies to: 3J + 7 = 52 Now, we can solve for J: 3J = 45 J = 15 So, Jordan has 15 Oreos. Therefore, James has 7 more than 4 times that number, or: 7 + 4 * 15 = 7 + 60 = 67 James has 67 Oreos., To determine how many Oreos James has, we first need to find out how many Oreos Jordan has. According to the problem, James has 7 more Oreos than 4 times the number of Oreos Jordan has. We can represent this relationship with the equation: James' Oreos = 4 * Jordan's Oreos + 7 Let's denote the number of Oreos Jordan has as J. Then, the number of Oreos James has can be expressed as 4J + 7. The total number of Oreos is 52, so we can create another equation to represent the total number of Oreos: James' Oreos + Jordan's Oreos = Total Oreos (4J + 7) + J = 52 Now, we can solve for J: 5J + 7 = 52 5J = 45 J = 9 So, Jordan has 9 Oreos. Now, we can find out how many Oreos James has: James' Oreos = 4 * 9 + 7 James' Oreos = 36 + 7 James' Oreos = 43 Thus, James has 43 Oreos.,Let's assume the number of Oreos Jordan has is J. James has 7 more than 4 times the number of Oreos Jordan has, so James has 4J + 7. The total number of Oreos is 52, so J + 4J + 7 = 52. Combining like terms, 5J + 7 = 52. Subtracting 7 from both sides, 5J = 45. Dividing both sides by 5, J = 9. So Jordan has 9 Oreos. Now we can find how many Oreos James has: 4J + 7 = 4(9) + 7 = 36 + 7 = 43. Therefore, James has 43 Oreos. 43 The answer is: 43
question:If Griffin is 61 inches tall and Grayson is 2 inches taller than Griffin, and Gracie is 7 inches shorter than Grayson, how many inches tall is Gracie?
answer:If Griffin is 61 inches tall and Grayson is 2 inches taller than Griffin, then Grayson's height is 61 + 2 = 63 inches. Since Gracie is 7 inches shorter than Grayson, Gracie's height is 63 - 7 = 56 inches. So, Gracie is 56 inches tall., Gracie is 56 inches tall. Here's the logic behind this: 1. We know that Griffin is 61 inches tall. 2. Grayson is 2 inches taller than Griffin, so Grayson is 61 + 2 = 63 inches tall. 3. Gracie is 7 inches shorter than Grayson, so Gracie is 63 - 7 = 56 inches tall. Therefore, Gracie is 56 inches tall.,Grayson is 2 inches taller than Griffin, so Grayson is 61 + 2 = 63 inches tall. Gracie is 7 inches shorter than Grayson, so Gracie is 63 - 7 = 56 inches tall. Therefore, Gracie is 56 inches tall. 56 The answer is: 56
question:Susan has 3 fish tanks to fill. 1 fish tank contains 7 goldfish and 8 beta fish. The second fish tank contains twice as many fish as the first tank and the third fish tank has a third of the number of fish in the second fish tank. How many fish are in the third fish tank?
answer:The third fish tank has 48 fish. Here's the reasoning: 1. First, let's find out how many fish are in the second tank. Since it contains twice as many fish as the first tank: 2 * (7 goldfish + 8 beta fish) = 2 * 15 = 30 fish. 2. Now, let's find out how many fish are in the third tank. It has a third of the number of fish in the second tank: (1/3) * 30 = 48/3 = 16 fish. 3. However, the question asks for the number of fish in the third tank, which is 16 multiplied by 3 (since there are three groups of 16 fish): 16 * 3 = 48 fish. So, there are 48 fish in the third fish tank.,The first fish tank has 7 goldfish + 8 beta fish = 15 fish in total. The second fish tank has twice as many fish as the first fish tank, so it has 15 * 2 = 30 fish. The third fish tank has a third of the number of fish in the second fish tank, so it has 30 / 3 = 10 fish. Therefore, there are 10 fish in the third fish tank. 10 The answer is: 10,The first tank has 7 goldfish and 8 beta fish, so there are 7 + 8 = 15 fish in the first tank. The second tank has twice as many fish as the first tank, so there are 2 * 15 = 30 fish in the second tank. The third tank has a third of the number of fish as the second tank, so there are 30 / 3 = 10 fish in the third tank.
question:Yves and his siblings ordered pizza and asked to have it cut into 16 slices. During dinner time, they only ate one-fourth of it. The next day, Yves ate one-fourth of the remaining pizza. Then his x siblings ate 2 slices each. How many slices of pizza were left? If we know the answer to the above question is 5, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:Let's break down the problem step by step: 1. We know that Yves and his siblings ordered a pizza and had it cut into 16 slices. 2. They ate one-fourth of the pizza, which means they ate 16 * (1/4) = 4 slices during dinner. 3. This means there were 16 - 4 = 12 slices left after dinner. 4. The next day, Yves ate one-fourth of the remaining pizza, so he ate 12 * (1/4) = 3 slices. 5. There were now 12 - 3 = 9 slices left. 6. His siblings ate 2 slices each, so let's calculate the total number of slices they ate: 2 * x = 2x slices. 7. After taking their slices, there were now 9 - 2x slices left. 8. We are given that there were 5 slices left after everyone ate, so we can set up the equation: 9 - 2x = 5. 9. Solving for x, we get: x = 2. Therefore, the value of the unknown variable x is 2.,The pizza was cut into 16 slices, and they ate one-fourth of it during dinner, which means they ate (1/4)*16 = 4 slices. The remaining number of slices is 16 - 4 = 12. The next day, Yves ate one-fourth of the remaining pizza, which means he ate (1/4)*12 = 3 slices. The number of slices remaining after Yves ate is 12 - 3 = 9. Then his x siblings ate 2 slices each, which means they ate 2*x slices in total. The number of slices remaining after his siblings ate is 9 - 2x. We are given that the number of slices remaining is 5, so we can write: 9 - 2x = 5. Solving for x, we get: x = 2. The value of x is 2. 2 The answer is: 2, First, let's find out how many slices of pizza were eaten on the first day: One-fourth of the pizza was eaten, which is 16 * 0.25 = 4 slices. Next, Yves ate one-fourth of the remaining pizza: Since 4 slices were eaten on the first day, there are 16 - 4 = 12 slices left. Yves ate 12 * 0.25 = 3 slices, leaving 12 - 3 = 9 slices. Then, x siblings ate 2 slices each: The number of slices eaten by Yves' siblings is 2 * x. According to the question, they ate 9 slices, so we have: 2x = 9 To find the value of x, we divide both sides of the equation by 2: x = 9 / 2 x = 4.5 However, the number of siblings should be a whole number. It seems like there might be a mistake in the question. If we assume that each sibling ate only 1 slice instead of 2, then the equation becomes: x = 9 / 1 x = 9 Assuming that the question should be "Then his siblings ate 1 slice each," the value of x is 9.
