[Question]Jackson is buying chairs for his restaurant. He has 6 tables with 4 seats and 12 tables with 6 seats. How many chairs total does Jackson need to buy?
[Answer]First find how many chairs Jackson needs for the four - seat tables by multiplying the number of four - seat tables by 4: 4 chairs / table * 6 tables = 24 chairs. Next find how many chairs Jackson needs for the six - seat tables by multiplying the number of six - seat tables by 6: 6 chairs / table * 12 tables = 72 chairs. Now add the number of chairs for the four - and six - seat tables to find the total number of chairs Jackson needs: 24 chairs + 72 chairs = 96 chairs. The answer is 96.

A: When Tucker buys the tissue boxes, he has a total of 160 x 3 = 480 tissues. When he is sick with the flu and uses some of the tissues, he has 480 - 210 = 270 tissues left. The answer is 270.
Question: Bob has planted corn in his garden, and it has just started to sprout. A week after planting it, it had grown 2 inches. The next week, its height increased by twice as much as it had the first week. In the third week, it grew 4 times as much as it did the week before. How tall are the corn plants now?
Answer: The second week it grew twice as much as the first week, so 2 * 2 inches = 4 inches. The third week it grew 4 times as much as in the second week, so 4 * 4 inches = 16 inches. In total, it grew 2 inches + 4 inches + 16 inches = 22 inches. The answer is 22.
[Question]Abby is building 2 raised beds to grow vegetables. The beds are both 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 1 foot high. Each bag of soil has 4 cubic feet. How many bags of soil will she need?
[Answer]One garden bed measures 8ft long, 4ft wide and 1ft high so to find the cubic feet needed, 8 * 4 * 1 = 32 cubic feet of soil needed. Both beds are the same size so she needs 2 * 32 = 64 cubic feet of soil. Every bag has 4 cubic feet of soil and she needs 64 cubic feet so 64 / 4 = 16 bags needed. The answer is 16.

Question: Anton has three times as many cards in his collection as Heike does. Ann has six times as many cards as Heike does. If Ann has 60 cards, how many more cards does Ann have more than Anton?
Answer:
If Ann has 60 cards, which is six times as many cards as Heike, Heike has 60 / 6 = 10 cards. Anton has three times as many cards in his collection as Heike does, and since Heike has 10 cards, Anton has 10 * 3 = 30 cards. Ann has 60 - 30 = 30 more cards than Anton. The answer is 30.
