Question: Ishmael, Ponce, and Jalen measured their weight and realized Ishmael was 20 pounds heavier than Ponce and that Ponce was 10 pounds lighter than Jalen. If Jalen weighed 160 pounds, calculate the average weight of the three?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Since Ponce weighs 10 pounds lighter than Jalen, he weighs 160 - 10 = 150 pounds. The sum of Jalen and Ponce's weight is 150 + 160 = 310 pounds. Ishmael is 20 pounds heavier than Ponce, meaning he weighs 150 + 20 = 170 pounds. The total weight of the three is 310 + 170 = 480 pounds. The average weight of the three is the total weight divided by their number, which totals 480 / 3 = 160 pounds.
So the answer is 160.

Question: Kara mixes cups of sugar and water in the ratio of 1:2 to make one liter of lemonade. Calculate the total number of cups of sugar used if she used 84 cups to make lemonade.
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The total ratio for the cups of sugar and water needed to make lemonade is 1 + 2 = 3. In the 3 cups needed to make one liter of lemonade, the fraction representing the cups of sugar needed is 1 / 3. If she used 84 cups while making lemonade, she used 1 / 3 * 84 = 28 cups of sugar.
So the answer is 28.

Question: Ellie has 8 pairs of shoes. Riley has 3 fewer. How many pairs of shoes do they have in all?
