Q: Dylan's mother is throwing a baby shower for her best friend. She is expecting 40 guests, of whom she has cleared the parking lot to park in to, leaving only her car and her husband's jeep in the parking lot. The 40 guests, though, arrive in only 10 cars that they park in the parking lot. If each car has 4 wheels, how many car wheels are there in the parking lot, including both of Dylan's parent's car wheels?
A: 10 cars are parked around for the party, 10 x 4 wheels each car = 40 wheels total. Dylan's parents both have a car with 4 wheels each, 2 x 4 = 8 more wheels. Combined, there are 40 + 8 = 48 wheels total on the Dylan family property. The answer is 48.

[Question]Walter fell from the eighth platform of some scaffolding and fell past David after falling 4 meters. If he fell for an additional three more times that depth before hitting the ground, and the platforms are evenly spaced out in height, what platform was David on?
[Answer]Walter fell 4 meters and an additional three times that depth which is 3 * 4 = 12 meters. He fell for a total of 4 + 12 = 16 meters. The eighth platform is 16 meters high and the platforms are evenly spaced so each platform is 16 / 8 = 2 meters high. David was located 4 meters below the 16 meter level which is 16 - 4 = 12 meters high. Each platform is 2 meters high so 12 meters would mean the 12 / 2 = 6th platform. The answer is 6.
