[Question]Allie picked 44 wildflowers. Thirteen of the flowers were yellow and white, seventeen of the flowers were red and yellow, and 14 of the flowers were red and white. How many more flowers contained the color red than contained the color white?
[Answer]13 were yellow and white, and 14 red and white, for a total of 13 + 14 = 27 flowers containing the color white. 17 were red and yellow, and 14 were red and white, for a total of 17 + 14 = 31 flowers containing the color red.

Q: Gina's snake eats one mouse every 4 weeks. How many mice will it eat in a decade?
A: First find the number of mice the snake eats each year: 52 weeks / year / 4 weeks / mouse = 13 mice / year. Then multiply the number of mice the snake eats per year by the number of years per decade to find the number of mice it eats per decade: 13 mice / year * 10 years / decade = 130 mice / decade. The answer is 130.
Question: After violating the group's policies, 20 members of a Facebook group were removed by the group's admin. If each member posted 50 messages per day in the group and the number of members in the group was 150 before the admin removed some, calculate the total number of messages the remaining members would send in a week.
Answer: If there were 150 members in the group before the admin removed 20, then 150 - 20 = 130 members remained after 20 were removed. The group members each posted 50 messages in a day, a total of 50 * 130 = 6500 messages. In a week, with seven days, the group members would have posted 6500 * 7 = 45500 messages. The answer is 45500.
[Question]The gauge on a water tank shows that the tank is 1/3 full of water. To fill the tank, 16 gallons of water are added. How many gallons of water does the tank hold when full?
[Answer]Given that the tank is 1 / 3 full of water, and that it requires 16 gallons to fill. 1 full tank - 1 / 3 tank = 2 / 3 of the tank is empty, which is equal to 16 gallons. If 2 / 3 of the tank equals 16 gallons, this means 1 / 3 of the tank is equal to 16 / 2 gallons = 8 gallons. The total capacity of the tank or how much the tanks holds = 16 + 8 = 24 gallons. The answer is 24.
Q: Trey has 5 times as many turtles as Kris. Kris has one fourth the turtles Kristen has. How many turtles are there altogether if Kristen has 12?

Question: Justin has a box that is 12 inches in height. The length of the box is 3 times its height and 4 times its width. What is the volume of the box?
Answer:
The length of the box is 3 x the height of 12 inches = 36 inches. The width of the box is 36 inches / 4 = 9 inches. The volume of the box is the height of 12 inches x the length of 36 inches x the width of 9 inches = 3,888 cubic inches. The answer is 3888.
