[Question]Gerald spends $100 a month on baseball supplies. His season is 4 months long. He wants to use the months he's not playing baseball to save up by raking, shoveling, and mowing lawns. He charges $10 for each. How many chores does he need to average a month to save up for his supplies?
[Answer]He needs to save up $400 because 4 x 100 = 400. He has 8 months to earn this money because 12 - 4 = 8. He needs to earn $50 a month because 400 / 8 = 50. He needs to do 5 tasks a month because 50 / 10 = 5. The answer is 5.

Question: Rene can finish reading 30 pages in 60 minutes. Lulu can read 27 pages in 60 minutes and Cherry can read 25 pages in 60 minutes. If they have been reading for 240 minutes now, how many pages have they finished reading in total?

Q: Each bird eats 12 beetles per day, each snake eats 3 birds per day, and each jaguar eats 5 snakes per day. If there are 6 jaguars in a forest, how many beetles are eaten each day?
A: First find the total number of snakes eaten: 5 snakes / jaguar * 6 jaguars = 30 snakes. Then find the total number of birds eaten per day: 30 snakes * 3 birds / snake = 90 snakes. Then multiply the number of snakes by the number of beetles per snake to find the total number of beetles eaten per day: 90 snakes * 12 beetles / snake = 1080 beetles. The answer is 1080.
Question: Jonah decided to set up an aquarium. He started with 14 small fish. He added 2 more, but they ate 6 of his original fish before he could remove them and take them back to the store. He exchanged them for 3 new fish. How many fish does Jonah have now?
Answer:
Jonah started with 14 fish + 2 more = 16 fish. Of the 16 fish – 6 were eaten – 2 were returned to the store = 8 fish. After he returned the fish to the store, he exchanged them for 3 new fish + 8 fish that were left = 11 fish now in his tank. The answer is 11.
