Question and rationale: The question is: Lard decides to share a pizza with his friend Jelly. He takes a whole, uncut pepperoni pizza and cuts it in half. He then cuts these halves in half and gives one of the slices to Jelly. Assuming the pizza started with 40 evenly spread slices of pepperoni, how many slices of it are on the slice Lard gives Jelly if 1 of them falls off the slice when Lard picks it up?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First, we need to determine how many slices the pizza was cut into. To do this, we start by performing 1 * 2 = 2 slices after the pizza was cut in half once. Each of these slices was cut in half again, yielding 2 * 2 = 4 slices in total. Next, we divide the total amount of pepperoni slices by the number of pizza slices, as the pepperoni was spread evenly. We find there are 40 / 4 = 10 slices of pepperoni per pizza slice. Since 1 slice of pepperoni fell off Jelly's slice, this means there are 10 - 1 = 9 slices left on her slice.

Question and rationale: The question is: Betty and Dora started making some cupcakes at the same time. Betty makes 10 cupcakes every hour and Dora makes 8 every hour. If Betty took a two-hour break, what is the difference between the number of cupcakes they made after 5 hours?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Dora made 8 cupcakes per hour for 5 hours for a total of 8 * 5 = 40 cupcakes. Betty took a 2 - hour break so she spent 5 - 2 = 3 hours making cupcakes. Betty made 10 cupcakes per hour for 3 hours for a total of 10 * 3 = 30 cupcakes. The difference between the number of cupcakes they made is 40 - 30 = 10 cupcakes.

Question and rationale: The question is: Oliver wonders how much water his bathtub can hold. So he takes a bucket that holds 120 ounces and starts filling the bathtub. When it reaches the top, he sees that he filled it 14 times. Then he wonders how much bathwater he uses, so he starts taking away buckets until it gets to the level he puts it at. He needs to take away 3 buckets to do this. Finally, he wonders how much water he uses in a week for his baths, which he takes every day. How much water does he use each week?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He uses 11 buckets to fill his bath normally because 14 - 3 = 11. He uses 1, 320 ounces a day for his baths because 11 x 120 = 1,320. He uses 9, 240 ounces a week for his baths because 7 x 1,320 = 9,240.

Question and rationale:
The question is: Yeon has three times as many watermelon seeds as Gwi. Gwi has 40 more watermelon seeds than Bom. If Bom has 300 watermelon seeds, how many seeds do they have together?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Bom has 300 seeds, then Gwi has 300 + 40 = 340 watermelon seeds. Together, Bom and Gwi have 340 + 300 = 640 melon seeds. Yeon's number of watermelon seeds is three times as many as the number that Gwi has, meaning Yeon has 3 * 340 = 1020 watermelon seeds. Together, the three friends have 1020 + 640 = 1660 watermelon seeds.
