Reasoning and answer: For each component, Grenada Army Base has 6000 / 3 = 2000 each of guns, war tractors, and soldier uniforms. Rockefeller Army Base has 3000 + 2 * 2000 = 7000 guns. Rockefeller Army Base has 3 * 2000 - 400 = 5600 war tractors. Rockefeller Army Base has 30 * 2000 = 60000 soldier uniforms. The total war supplies Rockefeller Army Base has reserved are 60000 + 5600 + 7000 = 72600 war supplies for its national protection.
The answer: 72600
What was the question?
Question: Rockefeller Army Base has 3000 more than twice as many guns as Grenada Army Base, 400 less than thrice as many war tractors as Grenada Army Base, and 30 times as many soldier uniforms as Grenada Army Base reserved for its national protection. How many total war supplies does Rockefeller have if Grenada's war supplies are equally divided among the 6000 war supplies they have in total?


Davante has 14 friends because 2 times 7 equals 14. Davante has 11 friends who are boys because 14 - 3 equals 11.
The answer: 11
Reverse engineering the question: Davante has twice as many friends as there are days in the week. 3 of his friends are girls. How many friends does he have that are boys?


Reasoning and answer: First find what percent of the seaweed can be used for something besides starting fires: 400 pounds / 2 = 200 pounds. Then divide that amount by 4 to find the amount that's eaten by humans: 200 pounds / 4 = 50 pounds. Then subtract that amount from the 200 pounds to find how much is eaten by livestock: 200 pounds - 50 pounds = 150 pounds.
The answer: 150

Question: Carson is sorting seaweed for various uses. 50% of the seaweed is only good for starting fires. 25% of what's left can be eaten by humans, and the rest is fed to livestock. If Carson harvests 400 pounds of seaweed, how many pounds are fed to livestock?


If Jimmy has 32 sheets, and Tommy has 10 more sheets than Jimmy does, Tommy has 10 + 32 = 42 sheets. When Ashton gives Jimmy 40 sheets, his total number of sheets increases to 32 + 40 = 72. The number of sheets that Jimmy now have than Tommy is 72 - 42 = 30.
The answer: 30
Reverse engineering the question: Tommy has 10 more sheets than Jimmy does. If Jimmy has 32 sheets, how many more sheets will Jimmy have than Tommy if his friend Ashton gives him 40 sheets.


Reasoning and answer: Five pounds of beef cost $3 x 5 = $15. So Lyra spent a total of $12 + $15 = $27. Therefore, $80 - $27 = $53 is left on her weekly budget.
