There were 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 people at the house. That means they use 6 * 2 = 12 plates per meal. So they use 12 * 3 = 36 plates per day. That means they use 36 * 4 = 144 plates for the visit.
The answer: 144
Reverse engineering the question: Tom invites his parents and 3 siblings to his house. They each eat 3 times a day. How many plates do Tom and his guests use while they are there for the 4 days if each person uses 2 plates per meal?


Reasoning and answer: Quinn catches twice the amount as Alster, who caught 2 frogs so Quinn caught 2 * 2 = 4 frogs. Bret catches three times the amount as Quinn who caught 4 frogs so Bret caught 3 * 4 = 12 frogs.
The answer: 12
What was the question?
Question: Quinn catches twice the amount of frogs as Alster who caught 2. Bret catches three times the amount of frogs as Quinn. How many frogs did Bret catch?


The quilt is 7 * 8 = 56 square feet. So it cost 40 * 56 = 2240.
The answer: 2240
Reverse engineering the question: John has to get a new blanket. He decides to have a 7 foot by 8-foot quilt made. The quilt costs $40 per square foot. How much does his quilt cost?


Reasoning and answer: A sheet has 16 cookies, so if each church member baked 10 sheets, they each baked 10 sheets / person * 16 cookies / sheet = 160 cookies / person. The total number of church members who decided to volunteer is 100, so in total, they baked 160 cookies / person * 100 people = 16000 cookies.
The answer: 16000
What was the question?
Question: A church has 100 members who've volunteered to bake cookies for the homeless in their local town. If each member baked 10 sheets of cookies, and each sheet has 16 cookies, calculate the total number of cookies the church members baked?


Since the average of marks scored in four tests by Jake was 75, the total marks that he scored in the four tests are 4 * 75 = 300. If jake scored 80 marks in the first test and 10 more in the second test, he scored 80 + 10 = 90 marks in the second test. The combined marks for the first and the second test is 90 + 80 = 170. The total marks Jake scored in the third and fourth test is 300 - 170 = 130. Since Jake scored an equal number of marks in the third and fourth tests, he scored 130 / 2 = 65 marks in each of the third and fourth tests.
The answer: 65
Reverse engineering the question: The average of marks scored in four tests by Jake was 75. If jake scored 80 marks in the first test and 10 more in the second test, and an equal number of marks in the third and fourth test, calculate the marks he scored in the third test.


After he walked 2 miles to the grocery store, he walked one less than two miles to the pet store, adding 2 - 1 = 1 mile to his journey. To complete his journey, he walked one less than four miles to return home, adding 4 - 1 = 3 miles. to his journey. In total, Hadley walked 2 + 1 + 3 = 6 miles.
The answer: 6
Reverse engineering the question:
Hadley wore his cowboy boots everywhere. He walked 2 miles to the grocery store in his boots. Then he walked 1 less than two miles to the pet store in his boots. Then, he walked one less than four miles back home in his boots. How far, in miles, did Hadley walk in his boots?
