Question: Gerald thought it would be funny to trick his coworker, who's allergic to peanuts, into eating a peanut butter cookie. When his coworker goes into anaphylactic shock and is taken to the hospital, Gerald is arrested. The judge sentences Gerald to 3 months for assault and 2 years for poisoning, then extends his sentence by 1/3 since this is Gerald's third offense. How many months does Gerald spend in jail?
Answer: First convert the 2 - year sentence to months: 2 years * 12 months / year = 24 months. Then add the 3 months for assault: 24 months + 3 months = 27 months. Then find how long the 1 / 3 extension is: 27 months / 3 = 9 months. Finally, add up the three lengths of time to find the total sentence length: 27 months + 9 months = 36 months. The answer is 36.

Q: Lagoon island is populated by alligators. Half the alligators are male. The rest are female. Among the females, 40% are juveniles. There are 15 adult females. How many male alligators are there?
A: 60% of female alligators are adults because 100 - 40 = 60. There are 25 female alligators because 15 / .6 = 25. There are 50 alligators in total because 25 / .5 = 50. There are 25 male alligators because 50 / 2 = 25. The answer is 25.
