Q: Billy ate 20 apples this week. On Monday, he ate 2 apples. On Tuesday, he ate twice as many as he ate the day before. He’s not sure what he ate on Wednesday. On Thursday, he ate four times as many as he ate on Friday. On Friday, he ate half of the amount he ate on Monday. How many apples did he eat on Wednesday?
A: On Tuesday, Billy ate 2 * 2 = 4 apples. On Friday, he ate 2 * 0.5 = 1 apple. On Thursday, he ate 4 * 1 = 4 apples. So for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, Billy ate a total of 2 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 11 apples. This means that on Wednesday, he must have eaten 20 – 11 = 9 apples. The answer is 9.
Question: Jodi and Vance are researching on a deserted island and have to stay on the island for a certain number of weeks to carry out their research. On their first expedition, they stayed for three weeks on the island. They spent two weeks more on the second expedition than they spent on their first expedition. They spent twice as many weeks on their last expedition as they spent on their second expedition. Calculate the total number of days they spent on the island on all the trips.
Answer: If they spent two more weeks on their second research expedition than they spent on the first week, they spent 2 + 3 = 5 weeks on the island. In the two expeditions, they stayed on the island for a total of 5 + 3 = 8 weeks. On their third expedition, they spent twice as many weeks as they spent on the second week on the island, which is 2 * 5 = 10 weeks. In all three expeditions, they stayed on the island for 10 + 8 = 18 weeks. Since a week has seven days, they spent 18 * 7 = 126 days on the island. The answer is 126.
[Question]Johann had 60 oranges. He decided to eat 10. Once he ate them, half were stolen by Carson. Carson returned exactly 5. How many oranges does Johann have now?
[Answer]Start with the consumed oranges: 60 oranges - 10 oranges = 50 oranges. To find the stolen oranges: 50 oranges / 2 = 25 oranges. To find the number of oranges after the return: 25 oranges + 5 oranges = 30 oranges. The answer is 30.
