Q: For every sandwich that he eats, Sam eats four apples. If he eats 10 sandwiches every day for one week, how many apples does he eat?
A: 280
Step-by-step reasoning process: Ten sandwiches every day for one week is 7 * 10 = 70 sandwiches. For every sandwich that Sam eats, he eats four apples, and since he ate 70 sandwiches, he ate 70 * 4 = 280 apples.

Q: Christine and Janice are having a contest to see who can throw a ball the highest. They each get three throws. On her first throw, Christine throws it 20 feet high. Janice's throw is 4 feet lower than Christine's. On their second throw, Christine throws it ten feet higher than her first throw and Janice throws it twice as high as her first throw. On the final throw, Christine throws it 4 feet higher than her 2nd throw while Janice throws it 17 feet higher than Christine's first throw. What is the height of the highest throw?
A: 37
Step-by-step reasoning process: We know Christine's second throw was 30 feet high because 20 + 10 = 30. We know Christine's third throw was 34 feet because 30 + 4 = 34. Janice's first throw was 16 feet because 20 - 4 = 16. Janice's second throw was 32 feet because 16 * 2 = 32. Janice's final throw was 37 feet high because 20 + 17 = 37. The six throws were 20 feet, 30 feet, 34 feet, 16 feet, 32 feet, and 37 feet, and of these numbers, 37 feet was the highest.


Q: If 24 out of every 60 individuals like football and out of those that like it, 50% play it, how many people would you expect play football out of a group of 250?
A: 50
Step-by-step reasoning process: If 50% of individuals that like football play it, and there are 24 out of 60 individuals that like it, then 24 * 50% = 12 out of 60 individuals play it. If 12 individuals play it out of 60 individuals then that means only 12 / 60 = 1 / 5 or 20% play it. If 20% of individuals play football out of a group of 250 people, one would expect 250 * 20% = 50 individuals to play it.
