Legoland has 5 kangaroos for each koala. If Legoland has 180 kangaroos, how many koalas and kangaroos are there altogether? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. For every 5 kangaroos, there is one koala, meaning for the 180 kangaroos, there are 180 / 5 = 36 koalas. Altogether, there are 36 + 180 = 216 koalas and kangaroos.. The answer is: 216.

A clerk can process 25 forms per hour. If 2400 forms must be processed in an 8-hour day, how many clerks must you hire for that day? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. One clerk can process 25 x 8 = 200 forms in a day. To process the forms for that day 2400 / 200 = 12 clerks must be hired.. The answer is: 12.

Quinton is looking to add 4 fruit trees to his backyard. He wants to plant 2 apple trees that will be 10 feet wide each and need 12 feet between them. The peach trees will be closer to the house and will grow to be 12 feet wide and will need 15 feet between each tree. All told, how much space will these trees take up in his yard? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Both apple trees will be 10 feet wide at maturity so they will be 2 * 10 = 20 feet wide. Quinton will need to leave 12 feet between these 2 trees so the apple trees will take up 20 + 12 = 32 feet. Both peach trees will be 12 feet wide at maturity so they will be 2 * 12 = 24 feet wide. Quinton will need to leave 15 feet between these 2 trees so the peach trees will take up 24 + 15 = 39 feet. Together, the apple trees will take up 32 feet and the peach trees will take up 39 feet so they will take 32 + 39 = 71 feet.. The answer is: 71.
