Answer the following question.
Jason is climbing a telephone pole next to a tree his friend Matt is climbing. Matt can climb 6 feet/minute and Jason can climb 12 feet per minute. After 7 minutes, how much higher will Jason be than Matt?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the distance Matt climbs in 7 minutes: 6 feet / minute * 7 minutes = 42 feet. Then find the distance Jason climbs in 7 minutes: 12 feet / minute * 7 minutes = 84 feet. Then subtract the distance Matt climbs from the distance Jason climbs to find the difference: 84 feet - 42 feet = 42 feet.
The answer is 42.

Answer the following question.
A car uses 20 gallons of gas to travel 400 miles. Mr. Montero's car has 8 gallons in it. How many more gallons of gas does he need to travel 600 miles, back and forth?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mr. Montero is traveling a total distance of 600 miles + 600 miles = 1200 miles. There are 1200 miles / 400 miles = 3 sets of 400 miles in 1200 miles. So Mr. Montero needs 20 gallons / set x 3 sets = 60 gallons in all. Since his car has 8 gallons already, then he needs to add 60 gallons - 8 gallons = 52 gallons more.
The answer is 52.

Answer the following question.
Each turtle lays a clutch of 20 eggs. If 40% of the eggs successfully hatch, how many hatchlings do 6 turtles produce?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the number of eggs that each turtle successfully hatches: 20 eggs * 40% = 8 eggs. Then multiply the number of eggs per turtle by the number of turtles to find the total number of eggs: 8 eggs / turtle * 6 turtles = 48 turtles.
The answer is 48.
