Question: If a bunny comes out of its burrow 3 times per minute, calculate the combined number of times 20 bunnies at the same pace will have come out of their burrows in 10 hours.
Answer: If a bunny comes out of its hole three times in a minute, in an hour, with 60 minutes, the bunny will come out of the hole 60 * 3 = 180 times. In 10 hours, a bunny will come out of their hole 180 * 10 = 1800 times. The combined time that 20 bunnies coming out of their holes will have taken in 10 hours is 1800 * 20 = 36000 times. The answer is 36000.
[Question]Justin needs to read at least 100 pages or more of his book in one week to pass his class. He has read 10 pages already on the first day. Assuming he reads twice the amount of pages as the first day each day in the remaining 6 days, how many pages will he have read after the week is over?
[Answer]10 pages per day on day 1 * 2 = 20 pages per day for days 2 through 7. 20 * 6 remaining days = 120 pages total from days 2 through 7. 10 pages day 1 + 120 pages days 2 through 7 = 130 total pages read in one week. The answer is 130.
Q: Hammond carves life-sized statues out of marble. His latest set of four statues started with an 80-pound block of marble. The first statue he carved weighed 10 pounds. The second statue weighed 18. The remaining two statues weighed the same amount. The marble he discarded after carving it off the statues weighed 22 pounds. How much did each of the remaining statues Hammond carved weigh?
A: Hammond’s statues weighed 80 - 22 = 58 pounds after the discarded marble was carved off. Minus the first statue, the statues weighed 58 - 10 = 48 pounds. Minus the second statue, the statues weighed 48 - 18 = 30 pounds. The remaining two statues weighed the same amount, so each weighed 30 / 2 = 15 pounds. The answer is 15.
Question: Graeme is weighing cookies to see how many he can fit in his box. His box can only hold 40 pounds of cookies. If each cookie weighs 2 ounces, how many cookies can he fit in the box?
Answer: First find how many cookies are in a pound. 16 ounces per pound / 2 ounces / cookie = 8 cookies per pound. The box can hold 40 pounds, so 40 pounds * 8 cookies per pound = 320 cookies. The answer is 320.
[Question]One dress requires 5.5 yards of fabric. Amare needs to make 4 dresses for the wedding and she has 7 feet of fabric. How many feet of fabric does Amare still need for the dresses?

[Question]Nori had 4 boxes of crayons with 8 crayons in each box. She gave 5 crayons to Mae and also give some crayons to Lea. How many more crayons did she give to Lea than Mae if she has only 15 crayons left?
[Answer]
From the 4 boxes, Nori had 8 * 4 = 32 crayons. After giving 5 crayons to Mae, she had 32 - 5 = 27 crayons left. If she only has 15 crayons now, this means she gave Lea 27 - 15 = 12 crayons. Hence, Lea has 12 - 5 = 7 more crayons than Mae. The answer is 7.
