Answer the following question.
2 tablespoons of popcorn kernels will make 4 cups of popcorn. For movie night, Joanie wants 3 cups of popcorn, Mitchell wants 4 cups of popcorn, Miles and Davis said they would split 6 cups of popcorn and Cliff said he would only eat 3 cups. How many tablespoons of popcorn kernels will they need?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Joanie wants 3 cups, Mitchell wants 4 cups, Miles & Davis want 6 cups and Cliff wants 3 cups then they want 3 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 16 cups of popcorn. Every 2 tablespoons makes 4 cups and they want 16 cups so 16 / 4 = 4 groups of 2 tablespoons are needed. Thus they need 4 * 2 = 8 tablespoons in total.
The answer is 8.

Answer the following question.
Monica was saving money for her future. Every week he put $15 into her moneybox. After the moneybox got full, which took 60 weeks, Monica took all the money out and took it to the bank, and she started saving money again. She repeated this whole process 5 times. How much money did Monica take to the bank in total?
Step-by-step reasoning process: During 60 weeks, Monica collected 15 * 60 = $900. She repeated this process 5 times, which means in total she collected 5 * 900 = $4500.
The answer is 4500.

Answer the following question.
Ann can skate 6 miles an hour. Her friend Glenda can skate 8 miles an hour. If they start in the same place and skate in straight lines in opposite directions for 3 hours, how many miles apart do they end up?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find how far Glenda goes in 3 hours by multiplying her speed by the number of hours she travels: 3 hours * 8 miles / hour = 24 miles. Then do the same thing for Ann: 3 hours * 6 miles / hour = 18 miles. Now add the number of miles both people skated to find the total distance between them: 18 miles + 24 miles = 42 miles.
The answer is 42.

Answer the following question.
Josh works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month. Carl is an intern and works 2 hours less than Josh every day. Josh gets $9 an hour and Carl, half that. How much does the company pay for the 2 together in one month?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Josh works 8 hours / day * 5 days / week * 4 weeks / month = 160 hours a month. He earns 160 hours / month * $9 / month = $1440 per month. Carl works less because he is an intern: 6 hours / day * 5 days / week * 4 weeks / month = 120 hours per month. Carl earns 120 hours * $4.5 / hour = $540 per month. The company pays for the 2 together: $1440 + $540 = $1980.
The answer is 1980.
