Question: An apple tree can fill 20 baskets. Each basket can be filled with 15 apples. How many apples can you get from 10 trees?


Let the number of cans of corn she bought be a. Twice the number of corn cans is 2 * a = 2a. The 35 cans of peas were 15 more than twice the number of corn cans which means 15 + 2a = 35. Solving the equation: 2a = 20. a = 20 / 2 = 10 cans of corn.
The answer: 10
Reverse engineering the question: Beth went shopping. She bought 15 more cans of peas than twice the number of cans of corn that she bought. If she bought 35 cans of peas, how many cans of corn did she buy?


Reasoning and answer: The cut - away part of the pole is 30 / 100 * 20 = 6 meters long. So the pole is left at the length of 20 - 6 = 14 meters.

Darla:6 books. Katie:6 / 2 = 3 books. Gary: 5(6 + 3) = 45 books. 6 + 3 + 45 = 54 books.
The answer: 54

Reasoning and answer: In the morning she runs 7 * 365 = 2555 metres. In the afternoon she runs 3 * 365 = 1095 meters. In one day, afternoon and morning, she runs 2555 + 1095 = 3650 meters. In a week, she runs 7 * 3650 = 25550 meters.
The answer: 25550

Reasoning and answer: Josh gave a total of 3 x 10 = 30 candies to his siblings. He was then left with 100 - 30 = 70 candies. He gave 70 / 2 = 35 candies to his best friend. So he had 70 - 35 = 35 candies left. Since he only wants to eat 16 candies, there are still 35 - 16 = 19 candies left to be shared with others.
The answer: 19
