Question: Jerry finds six hawk feathers and 17 times as many eagle feathers as hawk feathers. If he gives 10 feathers to his sister and sells half the remaining feathers, how many does he have left?
Answer: First find how many eagle feathers he found: 17 * 6 feathers = 102 feathers. Then add the number of hawk feathers he found: 102 feathers + 6 feathers = 108 feathers. Then subtract the number of feathers Jerry gave to his sister: 108 feathers - 10 feathers = 98 feathers. Then divide that number by 2 to find how many feathers Jerry has left: 98 feathers / 2 = 49 feathers. The answer is 49.

Question: Tomas is hoping to run a marathon next year, which is 26.3 miles. He knows that each month he trains, he can run twice as far as the month before. If he can run 3 miles during the first month of training, how many total months before the marathon should he start training to ensure he can run far enough?
Answer: In the first month he can run 3 miles. In the second month he can run 6 miles because 3 x 2 = 6. In the third month he can run 12 miles because 6 x 2 = 12. In fourth month he can run 24 miles because 12 x 2 = 24. In fifth month he can run 48 miles because 24 x 2 = 48. He needs to start training 5 months ahead of time because 24 < 26.3 and 48>26.3. The answer is 5.
