Question: Jeff spends three times as many hours on the weekend catching up with his Facebook pals as he does working. Monday through Friday, however, he spends four times as many hours working as he does catching up. If he spends 3 hours every day catching up, how many hours does he spend working in an entire week?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: On the weekend, Jeff works 3 / 3 = 1 hour each day. On the weekdays, he spends 4 * 3 = 12 hours working each day. Thus, he spends 2 * 1 + 5 * 12 = 62 hours working each week.
So the answer is 62.

Question: Tony paid $7 for 2 dozen apples and 1 bunch of bananas. Arnold paid $5 for 1 dozen apples and 1 bunch of bananas. How much does a bunch of bananas cost?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Tony paid $7 - $5 = $2 more than Arnold. We know he bought the same number of bananas as Arnold but that he bought 2 - 1 = 1 dozen apples more than Arnold. Therefore a dozen apples should cost $2. If Arnold paid $5 and $2 for a dozen apples then the bunch of bananas cost $5 - $2 = $3.
So the answer is 3.

Question: William is a jockey. He can ride his horse for 6 hours a day. Over 6 days, he only used the maximum riding time twice. On two days he rode his horse for only 1.5 hours a day and half the maximum time for the next two days. How many hours did William ride his horse during those 6 days?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: William used two days to the limit, which means 6 * 2 = 12 hours of horse riding. For two days he rode a horse 1.5 a day, which makes up to 1.5 * 2 = 3 hours. For the next two days, he used only half of the maximum time which means 6 * 0.5 = 3 hours a day. That means 2 * 3 = 6 hours during these two days. So in total William rode his horse for 12 + 3 + 6 = 21 hours.
So the answer is 21.

Question: From his apartment, Kona drives 9 miles to the bakery. From there, he drives 24 miles to his grandmother’s house. From her house, he drives 27 miles straight to his apartment. How many additional miles did Kona drive round trip to the bakery stop, compared to a round trip without the bakery stop?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: With the bakery stop, Kona drove a total of 9 + 24 + 27 = 60 miles. Without the bakery stop, Kona drove a total of 27 + 27 = 54 miles. With the bakery stop, Kona drives an additional 60 - 54 = 6 miles.
So the answer is 6.
