Amber is baking cakes for her party. She has invited 8 friends and each one will want two slices of cake. Each cake makes 6 slices. If she bakes 4 cakes, how many slices will be left over at the end if she eats three herself? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Her friends will eat 16 slices of cake because 8 x 2 = 16. There will be 19 slices eaten in total because 16 + 3 = 19. She is making 24 slices of cake because 4 x 6 = 24. There will be 5 pieces left over because 24 - 19 = 5.. The answer is: 5.

Remi prepared a tomato nursery and planted tomato seedlings. After 20 days, the seedlings were ready to be transferred. On the first day, he planted 200 seedlings on the farm. On the second day, while working alongside his father, he planted twice the number of seedlings he planted on the first day. If the total number of seedlings transferred to the farm on these two days was 1200, how many seedlings did his father plant? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. On the second day, he planted 2 * 200 seedlings = 400 seedlings. The total number of seedlings Remi planted on the two days is 400 seedlings + 200 seedlings = 600 seedlings. If the total number of seedlings transferred from the nursery was 1200 after the second day, Remi's father planted 1200 seedlings - 600 seedlings = 600 seedlings.. The answer is: 600.

Tomas ate 1.5 pounds of chocolate fudge last week. Katya ate half a pound of peanut butter fudge, while Boris ate 2 pounds of fudge. How many ounces of fudge did the 3 friends eat in total? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Tomas ate 1.5 * 16 = 24 ounces. Katya ate 0.5 * 16 = 8 ounces. Boris ate 2 * 16 = 32 ounces. Total = 24 + 8 + 32 = 64 ounces. The 3 friends ate 64 ounces of fudge in total.. The answer is: 64.
