Question: Irene shares half of a small apple with her dog every day. A small apple weighs about 1/4 of a pound. She can currently buy apples for $2.00 a pound. How much will she spend so that she and her dog have enough apples to last for 2 weeks?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 7 days in a week and she needs apples for 2 weeks so that's 7 * 2 = 14 days. She shares an apple with her dog every day so for 14 days so she needs 1 * 14 = 14 apples. Each apple weighs 1 / 4 of a pound and she needs 14 apples so that's .25 * 14 = 3.5 pounds of apples. She needs 3.5 pounds of apples and they are on sale for $2.00 a pound so she will spend 3.5 * 2 = $7.00 for apples.
So the answer is 7.

Question: Cody was reading through his favorite book series. The series was 54 books in total. If Cody read 6 books the first week, and 3 books the second week and then 9 books every week after that. How many weeks did it take Cody to read his series?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Cody needs to read 54 books - 6 books - 3 books = 45 books. Cody read 9 books each week after = 45 books / 9 books per week = 5 weeks. Cody read for 1 week + 1 week + 5 weeks = 7 weeks total.
So the answer is 7.
