question:A musician is working on blending elements of spoken word into her new album. She plans to create 12 songs, and each song will be 4 minutes long. For each song, she wants to include 2 minutes of spoken word and 2 minutes of lyrical music. If she spends 5 hours writing spoken word and 6 hours composing music, how many minutes, on average, does she spend on each minute of spoken word and on each minute of lyrical music for the entire album?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine the average time the musician spends on each minute of spoken word and each minute of lyrical music for the entire album.Step 1: Calculate the total minutes of spoken word and lyrical music for the entire album.Each song is 4 minutes long, with 2 minutes of spoken word and 2 minutes of lyrical music. Since there are 12 songs on the album:- Total minutes of spoken word = 2 minutes/song * 12 songs = 24 minutes- Total minutes of lyrical music = 2 minutes/song * 12 songs = 24 minutesStep 2: Determine the total time spent writing spoken word and composing music.- Time spent writing spoken word = 5 hours- Time spent composing music = 6 hoursConvert these times from hours to minutes (since 1 hour = 60 minutes):- Time spent writing spoken word = 5 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 300 minutes- Time spent composing music = 6 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 360 minutesStep 3: Calculate the average time spent on each minute of spoken word and lyrical music.- Average time spent per minute of spoken word = Total time spent writing spoken word / Total minutes of spoken word [ = frac{300 text{ minutes}}{24 text{ minutes}} = 12.5 text{ minutes per minute} ]- Average time spent per minute of lyrical music = Total time spent composing music / Total minutes of lyrical music [ = frac{360 text{ minutes}}{24 text{ minutes}} = 15 text{ minutes per minute} ]Final Answer:The musician spends, on average:# 12.5 minutes per minute of spoken word and 15 minutes per minute of lyrical music.
question:Dr. Heartwell is a renowned cardiologist who sees patients every week to help them improve their heart health. In one week, Dr. Heartwell saw a total of 48 patients. On Monday, she saw 12 patients, and on Tuesday, she saw 8 more patients than she did on Monday. On Wednesday, she saw half the number of patients she saw on Tuesday. The rest of the patients were seen on Thursday and Friday, with an equal number of patients each day. How many patients did Dr. Heartwell see on Thursday?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to find out how many patients Dr. Heartwell saw each day, using the given information, and then determine the number of patients seen on Thursday.1. Patients seen on Monday: - Dr. Heartwell saw 12 patients on Monday.2. Patients seen on Tuesday: - She saw 8 more patients than on Monday. So, on Tuesday, she saw: [ 12 + 8 = 20 text{ patients} ]3. Patients seen on Wednesday: - On Wednesday, she saw half the number of patients she saw on Tuesday. Therefore, on Wednesday, she saw: [ frac{20}{2} = 10 text{ patients} ]4. Total patients seen from Monday to Wednesday: - Add the number of patients from each of these days: [ 12 + 20 + 10 = 42 text{ patients} ]5. Total patients seen in the week: - She saw a total of 48 patients in the week.6. Patients seen on Thursday and Friday: - The remaining patients were seen on Thursday and Friday. First, find out how many patients still needed to be seen after Wednesday: [ 48 - 42 = 6 text{ patients} ]7. Patients seen on Thursday and Friday (equally): - Since the remaining patients were seen equally on Thursday and Friday, divide the remaining patients by 2: [ frac{6}{2} = 3 text{ patients each day} ]So, Dr. Heartwell saw 3 patients on Thursday.# 3
question:Dr. Photon, a physicist who believes that physics is the most fundamental and significant field of science, spends his days exploring the universe's mysteries. One day, he decides to demonstrate the elegance of physics by performing an experiment. He releases a small metal ball from the top of a tower that is 100 meters tall.Dr. Photon calculates that due to gravity, the ball falls 9.8 meters every second. He is curious to know how many seconds it will take for the ball to touch the ground if it falls at a constant rate. However, since this is a simple experiment to show to his students, he decides to simplify the calculation by assuming the ball falls exactly 10 meters each second.How many seconds will it take for the ball to reach the ground from a 100-meter tall tower if it falls 10 meters every second?
answer:To solve the problem, follow these steps:1. Identify the Initial Conditions: - The height of the tower is 100 meters. - The ball falls at a constant rate of 10 meters per second.2. Determine the Time to Reach the Ground: - Since the ball falls 10 meters each second, we need to calculate how many seconds it takes for the ball to cover the entire 100 meters.3. Calculation: - Divide the total height of the tower by the rate at which the ball falls: [ text{Time} = frac{text{Total height}}{text{Rate of fall}} = frac{100 text{ meters}}{10 text{ meters/second}} = 10 text{ seconds} ]4. Interpretation: - It will take 10 seconds for the ball to reach the ground if it falls at a constant rate of 10 meters per second.Therefore, the number of seconds it will take for the ball to reach the ground is:# 10
question:Jamie is a high school track star who is inspired by the stories of triumph and failure from their grandparent, who used to be an athlete. Jamie wants to break their grandparent's record of running a certain distance in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. To train, Jamie runs the same distance every day for a week and records the following times: 4 minutes 45 seconds, 4 minutes 40 seconds, 4 minutes 35 seconds, 4 minutes 50 seconds, 4 minutes 25 seconds, 4 minutes 30 seconds, and 4 minutes 33 seconds. Calculate Jamie's average running time over the week in minutes and seconds. Did Jamie manage to break their grandparent's record on average?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to calculate the average running time of Jamie for the given week and compare it to the grandparent's record time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds.Here are the recorded times for each of Jamie's runs:- Day 1: 4 minutes 45 seconds- Day 2: 4 minutes 40 seconds- Day 3: 4 minutes 35 seconds- Day 4: 4 minutes 50 seconds- Day 5: 4 minutes 25 seconds- Day 6: 4 minutes 30 seconds- Day 7: 4 minutes 33 seconds Step 1: Convert all times to secondsTo make calculations easier, we first convert each time from minutes and seconds to just seconds.1. 4 minutes 45 seconds = 4 * 60 + 45 = 240 + 45 = 285 seconds2. 4 minutes 40 seconds = 4 * 60 + 40 = 240 + 40 = 280 seconds3. 4 minutes 35 seconds = 4 * 60 + 35 = 240 + 35 = 275 seconds4. 4 minutes 50 seconds = 4 * 60 + 50 = 240 + 50 = 290 seconds5. 4 minutes 25 seconds = 4 * 60 + 25 = 240 + 25 = 265 seconds6. 4 minutes 30 seconds = 4 * 60 + 30 = 240 + 30 = 270 seconds7. 4 minutes 33 seconds = 4 * 60 + 33 = 240 + 33 = 273 seconds Step 2: Calculate the total time in secondsAdd up all the seconds from the 7 runs.Total time in seconds = 285 + 280 + 275 + 290 + 265 + 270 + 273 = 1938 seconds Step 3: Find the average time in secondsDivide the total time by the number of runs (7) to find the average time in seconds.Average time in seconds = 1938 seconds / 7 = 276 seconds Step 4: Convert the average time back to minutes and secondsConvert 276 seconds back to the format of minutes and seconds.- Number of minutes = 276 seconds // 60 = 4 minutes- Remaining seconds = 276 seconds % 60 = 36 secondsSo, the average running time is 4 minutes and 36 seconds. Step 5: Compare with the grandparent's recordThe grandparent's record is 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Jamie's average time of 4 minutes and 36 seconds is longer than 4 minutes and 30 seconds.Therefore, Jamie did not manage to break their grandparent's record on average.# Final Answer:Jamie's average running time is 4 minutes and 36 seconds. Jamie did not break their grandparent's record on average.
