Q: A car uses 20 gallons of gas to travel 400 miles. Mr. Montero's car has 8 gallons in it. How many more gallons of gas does he need to travel 600 miles, back and forth?
A: Mr. Montero is traveling a total distance of 600 miles + 600 miles = 1200 miles. There are 1200 miles / 400 miles = 3 sets of 400 miles in 1200 miles. So Mr. Montero needs 20 gallons / set x 3 sets = 60 gallons in all. Since his car has 8 gallons already, then he needs to add 60 gallons - 8 gallons = 52 gallons more. The answer is 52.
Question: Heloise has dogs and cats in the ratio of 10:17, with the total number of pets being 189. If she gives 10 dogs to her friend Janet, how many dogs does she remain with altogether?
Answer: The total ratio for the number of cats and dogs that Heloise has is 10 + 17 = 27. From the ratios, the fraction representing the number of dogs is 10 / 27, and this represents 10 / 27 * 189 = 70 dogs. If Heloise gives 10 of her dogs to Janet, she remains with 70 - 10 = 60 dogs. The answer is 60.
[Question]Carrie harvested 200 tomatoes and 350 carrots on her farm. If she can sell a tomato for $1 and a carrot for $1.50, how much money can she make if she sells all of her tomatoes and carrots?
[Answer]From selling her tomatoes, she can make 200 * $1 = $200. From selling her carrots, she can make 350 * $1.50 = $525. The total amount of money she can make is $200 + $525 = $725. The answer is 725.
Q: There are 14 green papayas on the papaya tree. On Friday, two of the fruits turned yellow. On Sunday, twice as many fruits as on Friday turn yellow. How many green papayas are left on the tree?

Question: Mara and Riley went to a carnival, Mara rode the bumper car two times, Riley rode the space shuttle four times, and they both rode the Ferris wheel three times. If a ticket for a bumper car cost $2, a ticket for a space shuttle cost $4, and a ticket for a Ferris wheel cost $5, how much money did they spend?
Answer: Mara spent $2 x 2 = $4 for riding the bumper car two times. Riley spent $4 x 4 = $16 for riding the space shuttle 4 times. They spent $5 x 3 = $15 each riding the Ferris wheel 3 times. So, they spent a total of $15 x 2 = $30 riding the Ferris wheel. Therefore the total amount they spent at the carnival is $4 + $16 + $30 = $50. The answer is 50.
Q: Bella eats 6 apples a day. If during the week she consumes a third of the apples Grace picks, how many apples will Grace have after 6 weeks?
A:
Bella eats during the week, 6 apples / day * 7 days / week = 42 apples / week. Grace harvests 42 apples / week * 3 = 126 apples during the week. Leftover after Bella eats, 126 apples / week - 42 apples / week = 84 apples / week. After 6 weeks Grace will have 84 apples / week * 6 weeks = 504 apples. The answer is 504.
