Question: Nellie can eat 12 sourball candies before crying. Jacob can only manage half of that number of candies, and Lana can only do three fewer than Jacob. They had a bucket of 30 candies, and all of them ate until they cried. If they divide the remaining candies in the bucket equally, how many sourball candies will they each get?
Answer: Jacob can eat 12 / 2 = 6 candies before crying. Lana can eat 6 - 3 = 3 candies before crying. Nellie, Jacob, and Lana all ate until they cried, so they ate 12 + 6 + 3 = 21 candies. Thus, there are 30 - 21 = 9 candies left in the bucket. After dividing the remaining candies equally, they will each get 9 / 3 = 3 sourball candies. The answer is 3.
[Question]If Brooke adds eight balloons to his current 12, and Tracy adds 24 to her current 6, how many balloons will they have in total if Tracy pops half of her balloons?
[Answer]When Brooke gets twelve more balloons, his total becomes 12 + 8 = 20. When Tracy adds 24 more balloons to her 6, her total number of balloons becomes 24 + 6 = 30. When half of Tracy's balloons pop, she remains with 1 / 2 * 30 = 15. The combined total balloons for the two is 15 + 20 = 35 balloons. The answer is 35.
Q: John climbs up 9 flights of stairs. Each flight is 10 feet. If each step is 18 inches, how many steps does he climb up?
A: He has to climb 9 * 10 = 90 feet. That means he needs to climb 90 * 12 = 1080 inches. That means he needs to climb 1080 / 18 = 60 stairs. The answer is 60.
Question: Jeff’s swimming coach required him to swim 98 laps over the weekend. On Saturday, Jeff swam 27 laps. On Sunday morning, he swam 15 laps, took a break, then resumed practice in the afternoon. How many laps did Jeff have remaining when he took the break?
Answer: After Jeff swam on Saturday, there remained 98 - 27 = 71 laps. After Sunday morning’s 15 laps there remained 71 - 15 = 56 laps. Therefore, when Jeff took the break, he had 56 laps remaining. The answer is 56.
