Q: Three years ago, Rosie purchased an art piece for $4000. The same art piece will be three times as much in another three years. How much money will the art piece have increased by?
A: If the art piece was bought at $4000, and its price in three years will be three times its buying price, it will be worth 3 * $4000 = $12000 in another three years. The price of the art piece will increase by $12000 - $4000 = $8000. The answer is 8000.
Question: Thomas is making hummus. One of the ingredients in a hummus recipe is chickpeas. For one serving of hummus, the recipe calls for 1 cup of chickpeas. In a can of chickpeas, there are 16 ounces of chickpeas. In one cup of chickpeas, there are 6 ounces. To make 20 servings, how many cans of chickpeas should Thomas buy?
Answer: For 20 servings, Thomas needs 20 * 1 = 20 cups of chickpeas. To have 20 cups, Thomas needs 20 * 6 = 120 ounces. 120 ounces / 16 ounces = 7.5 cans of chickpeas. Since Thomas cannot buy half a can, he needs to buy 8 cans. The answer is 8.
[Question]The length of the straight part of a river is three times shorter than the crooked part. If the river is 80 miles long, how long is the straight part of the river?
[Answer]Let's say the river's length in the straight part of the river is x. The total length of the river is the length of the straight part plus 3 times the length of the straight part for the crooked part, which is x + 3x = 80. The total length of the river is 4x = 80. The straight part of the river is x = 80 / 4 = 20 miles. The answer is 20.
