<s>[INST] Can you write a short introduction about the relevance of the term "It takes 1 person working 10 hours to figure out the solution to a math problem. If you add a second person who's equally good at math, how long will the two of them have to work to solve the same problem?" in 1? Please use examples related to potential situations in this context and cite relevant research. [/INST] Since you're doubling the number of people working on the task, that means you will be able to reduce the amount of time worked in half if they're of equal skill.
Therefore, you take the original time of 10 hours and perform 10/2= 5 hours spent working on the problem.

<s>[INST] Can you write a short introduction about the relevance of the term "Frank is making hamburgers and he wants to sell them to make $50. Frank is selling each hamburger for $5 and 2 people purchased 4 and another 2 customers purchased 2 hamburgers. How many more hamburgers does Frank need to sell to make $50?" in 3? Please use examples related to potential situations in this context and cite relevant research. [/INST] Frank sold 4 hamburgers and then sold 2 more, so all together Frank already sold 4+2= 6 hamburgers
If each hamburger is $5 and he sold 6 hamburgers already, Frank has made 5*6= 30 dollars.
Frank wants to make $50 and has already made $30, so Frank still needs 50-30= 20 dollars.
Since he needs $20 and each hamburger is $5, Frank needs to sell 20/5= 4 more hamburgers

Brent scored 25 and has 1 more mistake than Leo. What is Madeline's score?" in 4? Please use examples related to potential situations in this context and cite relevant research. [/INST] Leo got 2 x 2 = 4 mistakes.
So, Brent got 4 + 1 = 5 mistakes.

Please use examples related to potential situations in this context and cite relevant research. [/INST] Half of Bernie's collection means 18 * 0.5 = 9 postcards.
So he was able to sell 9 postcards for 9 * 15 = $135.
He decided to spend all of his money on new postcards for $5 each, so he was able to buy 135 / 5 = 27 new postcards.
This means Bernie has 9 + 27 = 36 postcards after all.

If she used up all of the helium and inflated every balloon, how many more balloons are touching the ceiling than not?" in 2? Please use examples related to potential situations in this context and cite relevant research. [/INST] 50cm³ will make one balloon touch the ceiling so 1800cm³ will make 1800/50 = 36 balloons touch the ceiling
There are 50 balloons in total so 50-36 = 14 balloons will not float since they were filled with ordinary air
There are 36-14 = 22 more balloons touching the ceiling than not

<s>[INST] Can you write a short introduction about the relevance of the term "Robi Ney wants to fill a 120-liter tub. He is amused by letting the water run for 1 minute, then closing the water supply for 1 minute, and so on alternating opening and closing the water supply. But the cap at the bottom of the tub is not very airtight and lets 1 liter of water escape per minute. The flow rate of the tap is 12 liters per minute. How long does it take to fill the tub in minutes?" in 1? Please use examples related to potential situations in this context and cite relevant research. [/INST] In 2 minutes, 12 liters of water flow into the bathtub and 2 liters (2 minutes x 1 liter/minute ) escape.
This will leave 12 – 2 = 10 liters of water every two minutes
We can divide the number of liters by the number of minutes to find the average flow per minute, which is 10 / 2 = 5 liters per minute
To fill the tub, it will take 120 liters / 5 liters/min = 24 min

Please use examples related to potential situations in this context and cite relevant research. [/INST] Paige has 100 space stickers that she is dividing among 3 friends, so 100 stickers / 3 friends = 33 stickers for each friend, with 1 remaining.
She also has 50 cat stickers that she is diving among 3 friends, so 50 stickers / 3 friends = 16 stickers for each friend, with 2 remaining.
So Paige will have 1 remaining space sticker + 2 remaining cat stickers = 3 stickers left.
