question:f Tim and Donna will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in 2025, and they started dating 3 years before getting married and met 2 years before that, when did they meet?
answer:If they will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in 2025, then they got married in 2025 - 20 = 2005. If they started dating 3 years before getting married, then they started dating in 2005 - 3 = 2002. If they met 2 years before that, then they met in 2002 - 2 = 2000. Therefore, they met in the year 2000. 2000 The answer is: 2000
question:Ryosuke is picking up his friend from work. The odometer reads X when he picks his friend up, and it reads 74,592 when he drops his friend off at his house. Ryosuke's car gets 28 miles per gallon and the price of one gallon of gas is 4.05. What was the cost of the gas that was used for Ryosuke to drive his friend back home from work? (Express your answer in dollars and round to the nearest cent. The answer is 3.47. What is the value of unknown variable X?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine the value of x, which represents the initial reading on the odometer when Ryosuke picks his friend up. We know that the odometer reads X when he picks his friend up and 74,592 when he drops his friend off at his house. The total distance traveled is the difference between these two readings: 74,592 - X miles. Ryosuke's car gets 28 miles per gallon, so the number of gallons used for the trip is (74,592 - X) / 28. The price of one gallon of gas is 4.05, so the cost of the gas used for the trip is (74,592 - X) / 28 * 4.05. To find the cost of the gas used for Ryosuke to drive his friend back home, we substitute the given answer of 3.47 for the cost and solve for X: (74,592 - X) / 28 * 4.05 = 3.47 Let's simplify and solve for X: (74,592 - X) * 4.05 = 3.47 * 28 (74,592 - X) * 4.05 = 97.16 To isolate X, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.05: (74,592 - X) = 97.16 / 4.05 74,592 - X = 24 To solve for X, we subtract 74,592 from both sides of the equation: 74,592 - 74,592 - X = 24 - 74,592 -X = -74,568 Finally, we multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to solve for X: X = -74,568 * -1 X = 74,568 The value of X is 74,568. The answer is: 74568
question:f Mary and her two friends agreed to split the cost of 2 pounds of chicken evenly, and Mary's mother purchased the chicken along with 3 pounds of beef at 4 per pound and a liter of oil for 1, resulting in a total grocery bill of 16, how much should each of Mary and her two friends contribute for the chicken?
answer:The cost of the beef is 3 pounds * 4/pound = 12. The cost of the oil is 1. So the total cost of the chicken, beef, and oil is 16 - 12 - 1 = 3. Mary and her two friends need to split the cost of the chicken evenly, so they should each contribute 3 / 3 people = 1. Each of Mary and her two friends should contribute 1 for the chicken. 1 The answer is: 1
question:a group of security guards hired for the night shift at a factory, there are four guards who agreed to a rotating schedule to cover the nine-hour shift. The first guard will take three hours, the last guard will take two hours, and the remaining hours will be split between the two middle guards. How many hours will each of the middle guards take?
answer:The total number of hours in the shift is 9 hours. The first guard will take 3 hours, and the last guard will take 2 hours. So the remaining hours for the two middle guards is 9 - 3 - 2 = 4 hours. Since the remaining hours will be split between the two middle guards, each guard will take 4 / 2 = 2 hours. Therefore, each of the middle guards will take 2 hours. 2 The answer is: 2
