How many total hours did the critic spend on film-related activities over the past month?

answer:To solve the problem, we need to calculate the total number of hours the critic spent on film-related activities. We'll break down the time spent on each activity and sum them up.1. Time spent watching films: - The critic reviewed 12 Bollywood films. - They spent 2 hours watching each film. - Therefore, the total time spent watching films is: [ 12 , text{films} times 2 , text{hours/film} = 24 , text{hours} ]2. Time spent writing reviews: - The critic spent 1 hour writing the review for each film. - Therefore, the total time spent writing reviews is: [ 12 , text{films} times 1 , text{hour/film} = 12 , text{hours} ]3. Time spent writing the article about the feud: - The critic spent 3 hours writing an article about their feud with "Filmfare" magazine. - Therefore, the time spent on this article is: [ 3 , text{hours} ]4. Total time spent on film-related activities: - We add up all the hours spent on watching films, writing reviews, and writing the article: [ 24 , text{hours} + 12 , text{hours} + 3 , text{hours} = 39 , text{hours} ]The total number of hours the critic spent on film-related activities over the past month is 39 hours.# 39

question:A contemporary Singaporean playwright, Jia Min, is working on a new play. She plans to depict a week in the life of a character living in Singapore. Each day in the play will be divided into three acts: morning, afternoon, and evening. Jia Min needs to write 5 pages for each act. If she plans to have 7 days in the play, how many pages will Jia Min need to write in total for the entire play?

answer:To solve the problem, we need to calculate the total number of pages Jia Min will write for the entire play, considering the structure she has planned.1. Identify the number of acts per day: - Each day is divided into three acts: morning, afternoon, and evening.2. Determine the number of pages per act: - Jia Min plans to write 5 pages for each act.3. Calculate the total number of pages per day: - Since there are 3 acts per day and each act is 5 pages, the total number of pages per day is: [ text{Pages per day} = 3 text{ acts/day} times 5 text{ pages/act} = 15 text{ pages/day} ]4. Calculate the total number of days in the play: - Jia Min plans to cover 7 days in the play.5. Calculate the total number of pages for the entire play: - Multiply the number of pages per day by the total number of days: [ text{Total pages} = 15 text{ pages/day} times 7 text{ days} = 105 text{ pages} ]Thus, the total number of pages Jia Min will need to write for the entire play is 105.# 105

question:Sarah is a devout Christian who believes in taking care of God's creation and is dedicated to sustainable development. She has decided to plant trees in her local community to help the environment. She plans to plant 5 trees every Saturday for 4 weeks. Additionally, her church group has committed to planting 3 extra trees each Sunday during this period. How many trees will Sarah and her church group plant in total over these 4 weeks?

answer:To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total number of trees planted over the 4 weeks by both Sarah and her church group.Step 1: Calculate the number of trees Sarah plants on Saturdays.Sarah plants 5 trees every Saturday. There are 4 Saturdays in the 4-week period.[text{Trees planted by Sarah on Saturdays} = 5 text{ trees/week} times 4 text{ weeks} = 20 text{ trees}]Step 2: Calculate the number of trees the church group plants on Sundays.The church group plants 3 trees every Sunday. There are 4 Sundays in the 4-week period.[text{Trees planted by the church group on Sundays} = 3 text{ trees/week} times 4 text{ weeks} = 12 text{ trees}]Step 3: Calculate the total number of trees planted by both Sarah and the church group.Add the number of trees planted by Sarah and the number of trees planted by the church group:[text{Total number of trees planted} = 20 text{ trees} + 12 text{ trees} = 32 text{ trees}]# 32

question:Coach Thompson, a veteran coach known for his strict win-at-all-costs mentality, is preparing his basketball team for the upcoming championship. He believes that practicing hard leads to more victories. Last season, his team won 75% of their games after practicing for 20 hours per week. This season, Coach Thompson decided to increase the practice time to 30 hours per week, resulting in the team winning 5 more games than last season. If the team played 40 games last season and had the same number of games this season, how many games did they win this season?

answer:To solve the problem, we need to determine how many games the team won this season. Let's break down the problem step-by-step:1. Determine the number of games won last season: - The team won 75% of their games last season. - They played 40 games. [ text{Games won last season} = 75% times 40 = 0.75 times 40 = 30 ] So, the team won 30 games last season.2. Identify the increase in the number of games won this season: - This season, the team won 5 more games than last season. [ text{Games won this season} = 30 + 5 = 35 ]Therefore, the team won 35 games this season.# 35

question:Mr. Thompson, a retired executive, often praises his former executive secretary, Ms. Green, for her exceptional efficiency. He believes that her ability to manage tasks quickly and accurately was crucial to the success of many projects. Mr. Thompson wants to advise Ms. Green on furthering her career by highlighting her efficiency in numbers.In a typical week, Ms. Green used to complete 35 tasks while the average executive secretary completed only 20 tasks. Mr. Thompson suggests that if Ms. Green could improve her efficiency by 10% through additional skills training, she could complete even more tasks, making her an even more attractive candidate for career advancement.How many tasks would Ms. Green be able to complete in a week if she increased her efficiency by 10%?

answer:To determine how many tasks Ms. Green would be able to complete in a week if she increased her efficiency by 10%, we can follow these steps:1. Identify Current Tasks Completed: Ms. Green currently completes 35 tasks per week.2. Calculate 10% Increase: A 10% increase in the number of tasks can be calculated by multiplying the current number of tasks by 10% (or 0.10). [ text{Increase in tasks} = 35 times 0.10 = 3.5 ]3. Calculate the New Total of Tasks: Add the increase in tasks to the original number of tasks to find the new total. [ text{New total tasks} = 35 + 3.5 = 38.5 ]Since tasks must be completed in whole numbers, we would need to consider whether to round this number. However, the problem does not specify how to handle fractional tasks, but typically in such contexts, it is reasonable to discuss whole tasks. Thus, if rounding is needed, Ms. Green would be completing either 38 or 39 tasks depending on the rounding convention used. However, since we're looking at a scenario of improvement, it's often rounded up.Therefore, if Ms. Green increases her efficiency by 10%, she would be able to complete approximately 39 tasks in a week.# 39

question:Alex is an aggressive tennis player who relies on physical strength and speed to win matches. In a recent tournament, Alex played a total of 5 matches. In each match, Alex hit the ball with an average speed of 120 kilometers per hour. In the first match, Alex hit the ball 90 times. In the second match, he hit it 110 times. In the third match, he hit it 85 times. In the fourth match, he hit it 95 times, and in the fifth match, he hit it 120 times. Calculate the total number of times Alex hit the ball in all 5 matches. Then, use this number to find out the total distance the ball traveled, in kilometers, if each hit traveled an average of 20 meters.

answer:To solve the problem, we need to follow these steps:1. Calculate the total number of times Alex hit the ball in all 5 matches. We are given the number of hits in each match: - First match: 90 times - Second match: 110 times - Third match: 85 times - Fourth match: 95 times - Fifth match: 120 times To find the total number of hits, we sum these numbers: [ 90 + 110 + 85 + 95 + 120 = 500 ]2. Calculate the total distance the ball traveled in all 5 matches. We know that each hit causes the ball to travel an average of 20 meters. We need to convert meters to kilometers because the final answer should be in kilometers. Recall that 1 kilometer = 1000 meters. First, calculate the total distance in meters: [ text{Total distance (meters)} = 500 times 20 = 10000 text{ meters} ] Now, convert this distance to kilometers: [ text{Total distance (kilometers)} = frac{10000}{1000} = 10 text{ kilometers} ]Thus, the total distance the ball traveled in all 5 matches is 10 kilometers.# 10
