Q: On Sunday Trey is going to do some chores at home. First, he wants to make a To Do list and count up how many things he has to do that day and how long it should take. He has several items under 'clean the house,' 'take a shower' and then 'make dinner.' In total there are 7 things to do to clean the house; 1 thing to do to take a shower; and 4 things to do to make dinner. If everything on Trey's list takes 10 minutes to do, how many hours total will it take to complete Trey's list?
A: 2
Step-by-step reasoning process: On Trey's list there are 7 + 1 + 4 things to do = 12 things to do in total. Each thing takes 10 minutes to do, so 10 minutes x 12 things = 120 minutes. An hour has 60 minutes in it, so 120 minutes / 60 minutes in an hour = 2 total hours it will take Trey to complete his list.


Q: Joe played catch with Derek and Tammy. He caught the ball 23 times. Derek made four less than double the catches Joe did. Tammy caught the ball sixteen more than a third of the times Derek did. How many times did Tammy catch the ball?
A: 30
Step-by-step reasoning process: Derek caught the ball 2 * 23 - 4 = 46 - 4 = 42 times. Tammy caught the ball 42 / 3 + 16 = 14 + 16 = 30 times.


Q: Santana has 7 brothers. 3 of them have birthdays in March, 1 of them has a birthday in October, 1 has a birthday in November, and another 2 of them were born in December. If Santana always buys each of her brothers a birthday present and a Christmas present, how many more presents does she have to buy in the second half of the year than the first half of the year?
A: 8
Step-by-step reasoning process: Santana has 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 brothers with birthdays in the second half of the year. She has 7 brothers - 4 brothers = 3 brothers with birthdays in the first half of the year. Altogether, she has to buy 4 + 7 = 11 presents in the second half of the year. Therefore, she has to buy 11 - 3 = 8 more presents in the second half of the year.
