Question: Dolly wants to ride the Ferris wheel twice, the roller coaster three times, and the log ride seven times. The Ferris wheel costs 2 tickets, the roller coaster costs 5 tickets and the log ride costs 1 ticket. Dolly has 20 tickets. How many more tickets should Dolly buy?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: It costs 2 rides x 2 tickets / ride = 4 tickets to ride the Ferris wheel twice. It costs 3 rides x 5 tickets / ride = 15 tickets to ride the roller coaster three times. It costs 7 rides x 1 ticket / ride = 7 tickets to ride the roller coaster seven times. In total Dolly needs 4 tickets + 15 tickets + 7 tickets = 26 tickets. Dolly needs to buy 26 tickets - 20 tickets = 6 more tickets.
So the answer is 6.

Question: Quinton is looking to add 4 fruit trees to his backyard. He wants to plant 2 apple trees that will be 10 feet wide each and need 12 feet between them. The peach trees will be closer to the house and will grow to be 12 feet wide and will need 15 feet between each tree. All told, how much space will these trees take up in his yard?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Both apple trees will be 10 feet wide at maturity so they will be 2 * 10 = 20 feet wide. Quinton will need to leave 12 feet between these 2 trees so the apple trees will take up 20 + 12 = 32 feet. Both peach trees will be 12 feet wide at maturity so they will be 2 * 12 = 24 feet wide. Quinton will need to leave 15 feet between these 2 trees so the peach trees will take up 24 + 15 = 39 feet. Together, the apple trees will take up 32 feet and the peach trees will take up 39 feet so they will take 32 + 39 = 71 feet.
So the answer is 71.

Question: There are 200 snakes in a park. There are three times as many pythons as boa constrictors. If there 40 boa constrictors and the rest of the snakes are rattlesnakes, calculate the total number of rattlesnakes in the park.
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If the number of pythons is three times the number of boa constrictors, then there are 3 * 40 = 120 pythons. Together, the number of pythons and boa constrictors is 120 + 40 = 160. If there are 200 snakes in the park, the number of rattlesnakes is 200 - 160 = 40.
So the answer is 40.

Question: One serving of soup has 1 cup of vegetables and 2.5 cups of broth. How many pints of vegetables and broth combined would be needed for 8 servings?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: One serving = 1 + 2.5 = 3.5 cups. Eight servings = 8 * 3.5 = 28 cups. 28 cups = 14 pints. Eight servings would need 14 pints of vegetables and broth.
So the answer is 14.
