Q: Zach baked cookies for a bake sale. On Monday he baked 32 cookies. On Tuesday he ran out of sugar and could only bake half of the number of cookies he baked the day before. On Wednesday he baked three times the number of cookies he did on Tuesday, but his brother ate 4 of those cookies. How many cookies did he have at the end of the three days?
A: On Tuesday he made 32 / 2 = 16 cookies. On Wednesday he made 16 * 3 = 48 cookies. Before his brother ate some he had 32 + 16 + 48 = 96 cookies. After his brother ate some he had 96 - 4 = 92 cookies. The answer is 92.
Question: A bear is hunting for her cubs and herself. She needs 210 pounds of meat in a week. Each cub needs 35 pounds a week and she has 4 cubs. She hunts rabbits, which are five pounds each. If she hunts daily, how many rabbits does she need to catch each day?
Answer:
The cubs need 140 pounds a week because 4 x 35 = 140. The family needs 350 pounds a week because 210 + 140 = 350. The family needs 50 pounds a day because 350 / 7 = 50. She needs to hunt 10 rabbits a day because 50 / 5 = 10. The answer is 10.
