Question: Jim collects model cars, and he has 301 models total. Jim has 4 times as many Buicks as Fords, and 3 more than twice the number of Fords than Chevys. How many Buicks does Jim have?
Answer: Let x represent the number of Chevys. Fords:3 + 2x. Buicks:4(3 + 2x) = 12 + 8x. Total:x + 3 + 2x + 12 + 8x = 301. 11x + 15 = 301. 11x = 286. x = 26. Buicks:12 + 8(26) = 220. The answer is 220.
[Question]Quinton is looking to add 4 fruit trees to his backyard. He wants to plant 2 apple trees that will be 10 feet wide each and need 12 feet between them. The peach trees will be closer to the house and will grow to be 12 feet wide and will need 15 feet between each tree. All told, how much space will these trees take up in his yard?
[Answer]Both apple trees will be 10 feet wide at maturity so they will be 2 * 10 = 20 feet wide. Quinton will need to leave 12 feet between these 2 trees so the apple trees will take up 20 + 12 = 32 feet. Both peach trees will be 12 feet wide at maturity so they will be 2 * 12 = 24 feet wide. Quinton will need to leave 15 feet between these 2 trees so the peach trees will take up 24 + 15 = 39 feet. Together, the apple trees will take up 32 feet and the peach trees will take up 39 feet so they will take 32 + 39 = 71 feet. The answer is 71.
Q: In a 5-day Fishing competition, Jackson was able to reel a total of 6 fishes per day, Jonah was able to reel 4 fishes per day and George was able to reel 8 fishes per day. How many fishes were they able to catch throughout the competition if they are on the same team?
A: Jackson gets a total of 6x5 = 30 fishes after the competition. Jonah gets 4x5 = 20 fishes after the competition. And George was able to get 8x5 = 40 fishes after the competition. Therefore the total fishes they were able to get for their team is 30 + 20 + 40 = 90. The answer is 90.

[Question]There are 80 men in a race. 1/4 of the men tripped and were unable to finish. 2/3 of the remaining men were dehydrated and 1/5 of those dehydrated men couldn't finish the race. How many men finished the race?
[Answer]1 / 4 of 80 men is 80 / 4 = 20 men. 20 men couldn't finish, so 80 - 20 = 60 men remain. 60 * 2 / 3 = 40 men were dehydrated. 1 / 5 of the dehydrated couldn't finish 40 * 1 / 5 = 8 men. 60 - 8 = 52 men finished the race. The answer is 52.
