Q: Amy biked 12 miles yesterday. If she biked 3 miles less than twice as far as yesterday, how many miles did she bike in total in the two days?
A: Twice the distance Amy biked yesterday is 12 * 2 = 24 miles. If Amy biked 3 miles less than twice as far as yesterday, she biked 24 - 3 = 21 miles today. The total distance she biked in the two days is 21 + 12 = 33 miles. The answer is 33.
Question: In a 5-day Fishing competition, Jackson was able to reel a total of 6 fishes per day, Jonah was able to reel 4 fishes per day and George was able to reel 8 fishes per day. How many fishes were they able to catch throughout the competition if they are on the same team?
Answer:
Jackson gets a total of 6x5 = 30 fishes after the competition. Jonah gets 4x5 = 20 fishes after the competition. And George was able to get 8x5 = 40 fishes after the competition. Therefore the total fishes they were able to get for their team is 30 + 20 + 40 = 90. The answer is 90.
