Question: Giselle is in charge of the relay run on track and field day. Last year, the race was 300 meters. This year, it will be 4 times as long. Giselle needs to set up 6 tables for the relay run. The distance between the tables must be the same and the last table will be at the finish line. What is the distance between table 1 and table 3 in meters?
Answer: The relay run is 4 times the length of last year’s race, so 300 meters x 4 = 1200 meters. With 6 tables along the route, the distance between tables is 1200 meters / 6 tables = 200 meters. The distance between tables 1 and 3 is 200 meters x 2 = 400 meters. The answer is 400.

Question: Eva learns for two semesters in a year. In 2019, she scored ten more marks in maths in the first semester than the second, 15 marks less in arts, and 1/3 marks less in science in the first semester than the second. If she got 80 marks in maths in the second semester, 90 marks in arts, and 90 in science, what's the total number of her marks in all the semesters?
Answer: In the first semester, she scored 80 + 10 = 90 marks in maths. She also scores 90 - 15 = 75 marks in arts in the first semester. She scored 1 / 3 marks less in science in the first semester than the second, which is 1 / 3 * 90 = 30. Her score in science in the first semester is 90 - 30 = 60. The total for the first semester is 90 + 75 + 60 = 225. The total for the second semester is 90 + 90 + 80 = 260. The combined marks for all the semesters in 260 + 225 = 485. The answer is 485.
