Q: Reina has three times the number of counters and four times the number of marbles as Kevin. If Kevin has 40 counters and 50 marbles, calculate the number of counters and marbles that Reina has?
A: If Kevin has 40 counters, and Reina has three, the number of counters Kevin has, Reina has 3 * 40 = 120 counters. Reina also has four times the number of marbles that Kevin has, meaning he has 4 * 50 = 200 marbles. In total, Reina has 120 counters + 200 marbles = 320 items. The answer is 320.

Q: Mrs. Gable’s third grade class is on a field trip to the beach. For lunch, Mrs. Gable brought 20 lunches for the 20 students in her class. She included a pack of animal crackers in each lunch bag for dessert. Each pack of animal crackers contained 10 animal crackers. If 2 students did not eat their animal crackers, how many animal crackers were eaten in total among Mrs. Gable’s students?
A: Since 2 students did not eat their animal crackers, 20 - 2 = 18 students ate their animal crackers. The students ate a total of 18 * 10 = 180 animal crackers. The answer is 180.

Q: Jamie owns 4 Persian cats and 2 Maine Coons. Gordon owns half as many Persians and one more Maine Coon than Jamie. Hawkeye owns one less Maine Coon than Gordon and no Persian cats. If they bring all of their cats together to play, how many cats are there in total?

Gordon has 4 / 2 = 2 Persians. Gordon has 2 + 1 = 3 Maine Coons. Hawkeye has 3 - 1 = 2 Maine Coons. In total, they have 4 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 0 = 13 cats. The answer is 13.
