Mitch made 20 macarons. Joshua made 6 more macarons than Mitch but half as many macarons as Miles. Renz made 1 fewer than 3/4 as many macarons as Miles. If they will combine their macarons to give them to the kids on the street, how many kids would receive 2 macarons each? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Joshua made 20 + 6 = 26 macarons. Miles made 26 x 2 = 52 macarons. Three - fourths of Miles' macarons is 52 x 3 / 4 = 39. So Renz made 39 - 1 = 38 macarons. The four of them have a total of 20 + 26 + 52 + 38 = 136 macarons combined. Thus, 136 / 2 = 68 kids would receive 2 macarons each.. The answer is: 68.

Jason worked for 9 years as a bartender and 3 years and six months as a manager. How many months of work experience does he have total? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. First find how many months Jason worked as a bartender: 9 years * 12 months / year = 108 months. Then find how many months Jason worked as a manager: 3 years * 12 months / year + 6 months = 42 months. Then add those two amounts to find his total amount of work experience: 108 months + 42 months = 150 months.. The answer is: 150.

Josh built his little brother a rectangular sandbox. The perimeter of the sandbox is 30 feet and the length is twice the width. What is the width of the sandbox? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. There are four sides to a rectangle, the width is W and so the length is 2W, and we can put that in this equation: W + W + 2W + 2W = 30 feet. If we add the sides together, we get 6W = 30 feet. To find W, we divide both sides by 6, like this: 6W / 6 = 30 feet / 6, so W = 5 feet.. The answer is: 5.
