Q: To let Ruth know how long her fish will live, her father tells her that well-cared fish can live 2 years longer than dogs live. On average, dogs live 4 times as long as hamsters live. And hamsters live an average of 2.5 years. How long can a fish live?
A: Knowing that dogs live 4 times the age of hamsters, dogs live 4 * 2.5 = 10 years. If Ruth takes care of the fish, it can live 10 + 2 = 12 years. The answer is 12.

[Question]To pass the time while she is waiting somewhere Carla likes to count things around her. While she is waiting for school to start on Monday she counts the tiles on the ceiling--38. While she is waiting for everyone to finish their tests after she has handed in hers, she counts the books in the room--75. On Tuesday Carla counts all the tiles twice in a row and she counts the books three times in a row when she has to wait for a long time for the teacher to finish handing out the graded tests. If every time Carla counts something counts as once, how many times has Carla counted something on Tuesday?
[Answer]When Carla was waiting on Monday she counted 38 ceiling tiles and on Tuesday she counted them twice, 38 ceiling tiles x 2 = 76 times she counted a ceiling tile. She also counted 75 books in the room on Monday and counted them three times in a row on Tuesday, 75 books x 3 = 225 times she counted a book. On Tuesday Carla counted the ceiling tiles 76 times + counted books 225 times = 301 times Carla counted something on Tuesday. The answer is 301.
