Victoria has 4 x 2 = 8 scoops of ice cream. Therefore, Victoria has 8 - 4 = 4 more scoops of ice cream than Oli.
The answer: 4
Reverse engineering the question: Oli's banana split has 4 scoops of ice cream while Victoria has twice more scoops of ice cream than Oli's. How many more scoops of ice cream does Victoria have than Oli?


Reasoning and answer: First find the distance between soccer practice and home by multiplying the distance between soccer practice and school by 2: 12 miles * 2 = 24 miles. Then find the total distance Carla drives by adding the length of each trip: 24 miles + 12 miles + 6 miles + 8 miles = 50 miles. Then find how many gallons of gas she needs by dividing the distance of the trip by her car's gas mileage: 50 miles / 25 mpg = 2 gallons. Then multiple the gallons of gas by the price per gallon to find the total cost: 2 gallons * $2.50 = $5.
The answer: 5

Question: Carla needs to drive her car to do a bunch of errands. She needs to drive 8 miles to the grocery store, 6 miles to pick up her kids from school, 12 miles to drop her kids off at soccer practice, and twice the distance from the school to soccer practice to get everyone home again. If Carla's car gets 25 miles per gallon, and gas costs $2.50, how much will Carla have to spend on gas for her trip?


The hunting season last 12 / 4 = 3 months. So he goes hunting 3 * 6 = 18 times a year. That means he gets 18 * 2 = 36 deers per year. So he catches 36 * 600 = 21,600 pounds of deer a year. That means he keeps 21600 / 2 = 10,800 pounds of deer a year.
The answer: 10800
Reverse engineering the question: Jack goes hunting 6 times a month. The hunting season lasts for 1 quarter of the year. He catches 2 deers each time he goes hunting and they weigh 600 pounds each. He keeps half the weight of deer a year. How much deer does he keep in pounds?


Reasoning and answer: The three students want a total of 3 + 2 + 5 = 10 pencils. Each pencil cost 20 cents so 10 pencils cost 20 * 10 = 200 cents. 100 cents make a dollar so 200 cents make 200 / 100 = 2 dollars.
The answer: 2

Question: Some students want to buy pencils from a stationery shop. The price of one pencil is 20 cents. Tolu wants 3 pencils, Robert wants 5 pencils and Melissa wants 2 pencils. How much (in dollars) will the students spend altogether at the stationery shop?


They earned $30 from trucks because 5 x 6 = 30. They earned $35 from SUVs because 5 x 7 = 35. They earned $35 from cars because 100 - 35 - 30 = 35. They washed 7 cars because 35 / 5 = 7.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: Laura is hosting a carwash. She will charge $5 for a car, $6 for a truck, and $7 for an SUV. They raised $100 in total. If they washed 5 SUVs and 5 trucks, how many cars did they wash?


Stella and Twinkle filled up the truck at the rate of 250 blocks per hour per person, a total of 2 * 250 = 500 blocks per hour for both. After working for four hours, Stella and Twinkle had filled 4 * 500 = 2000 blocks into the truck. The number of blocks they had to put into the truck for it to be full is 6000 - 2000 = 4000. When 6 more people joined Stella and Twinkle, a total of 2 + 6 = 8 people were filling the truck now. Working at the rate of 250 blocks per person, the eight people filled the truck with 250 * 8 = 2000 blocks in one hour. If there were 4000 blocks that still needed to be put into the truck, the 8 people took 4000 / 2000 = 2 hours to fill the truck with the blocks. The total time it took to fill up the tank is 4 + 2 = 6 hours.
The answer: 6
Reverse engineering the question:
Stella and Twinkle are filling up a truck with a capacity of 6000 stone blocks at the rate of 250 blocks per hour per person. They work for four hours and are then joined by 6 other people who also work at the same rate. How many hours did filling the truck take?
