[Question]If a basket is capable of holding 40 fruit altogether, and there are 3 times as many apples as oranges, how many oranges are there?
[Answer]Since the ratio of apples to oranges is 3:1, that means for every 3 apples there is 1 orange. The size of this group is therefore 3 + 1 = 4. We then divide this group size into the total amount of fruit the basket is holding at this time, which is 40. This means there are 40 / 4 = 10 of these groups in total. Since there are 10 of these groups in total, that means there are 10 * 1 = 10 oranges in the basket. The answer is 10.
Q: Carter can read half as many pages as Lucy in 1 hour. Lucy can read 20 more pages than Oliver in 1 hour. Oliver can read 40 pages. How many pages can Carter read in 1 hour?
A: Lucy can read 20 more pages than Oliver who can read 40 pages so Lucy can read 40 + 20 = 60 pages. Carter can read half as many pages as Lucy who can read 60 pages so he can read 60 / 2 = 30 pages in 1 hour. The answer is 30.
Question: A party of 4 order 3 dozen oysters on the half shell for $15.00 a dozen, 2 pounds of steamed shrimp for $14.00 a pound and 2 pounds of fried clams for $13.50 a pound. If they split the bill equally, how much will they each owe?
Answer: They ordered 3 dozen oysters at $15.00 a dozen so that's 3 * 15 = $45.00. They ordered 2 pounds of shrimp for $14.00 a pound so that's 2 * 14 = $28.00. They ordered 2 pounds of fried clams for $13.50 a pound so that's 2 * 13.50 = $27.00. All total their bill comes to 45 + 28 + 27 = $100.00. Their bill was $100.00 and they are splitting it equally amongst 4 people so they each owe 100 / 4 = $25.00. The answer is 25.
[Question]Beckett is 12 and is three years younger than Olaf, while Shannen is two years younger than Olaf. If Jack is five more than twice as old as Shannen, what is the sum of the ages of all 4 people?
[Answer]Olaf is 12 years + 3 years = 15 years old. Shannen is 15 years old - 2 years = 13 years old. Jack is 5 years + (2 * 13 years) = 31 years old. The sum of all of their ages is 12 + 15 + 13 + 31 = 71 years old. The answer is 71.
[Question]Colby harvested his mango trees, the total mangoes he harvested is 60 kilograms. He sold 20 kilograms to the market and sold the remaining half to his community. If each kilogram contains 8 mangoes, how many mangoes does he still have?

He has 60 - 20 = 40 kilograms of mangoes left after selling them to the market. Colby sold 1 / 2 x 40 = 20 kilograms of mangoes to the community. Therefore, Colby still has 20x8 = 160 pieces of mangoes. The answer is 160.
