Reasoning and answer: He consumes 2500 + 1000 = 3500 calories on Saturday. He consumes 2500 * 6 + 3500 = 18500 calories in the week. He burns 3000 * 7 = 21000 calories in the week. His caloric deficit is 21000 - 18500 = 2500 calories per week.
The answer: 2500

Benjy has b peaches. Martine has 6 + 2b = 16 peaches. 2b = 10. b = 5. Then Gabrielle has 5 * 3 = 15.
The answer: 15
Reverse engineering the question: Martine has 6 more than twice as many peaches as Benjy. Benjy has one-third as many peaches as Gabrielle. If Martine has 16 peaches, how many does Gabrielle have?


Reasoning and answer: At the start, there were 50 racers, who were joined by 30 more racers, thus 50 + 30 = 80 racers. After 30 more minutes, the number of racers doubled, totaling 80 * 2 = 160 racers. If the number of racers who finished is 130, the 160 - 130 = 30 racers dropped before finishing.
The answer: 30

Jimmy weighs 75 + 6 = 81 pounds. Adam's weight is 75 - 15 = 60 pounds. In total, the three weigh 75 + 81 + 60 = 216 pounds. The average weight of the three is 216 / 3 = 72 pounds.
The answer: 72
Reverse engineering the question: Rachel weighs 75 pounds, 6 pounds less than Jimmy and 15 pounds more than Adam. What is the average weight of the three people, in pounds?

Reasoning and answer: Knowing that dogs live 4 times the age of hamsters, dogs live 4 * 2.5 = 10 years. If Ruth takes care of the fish, it can live 10 + 2 = 12 years.
The answer: 12
What was the question?
Question:
To let Ruth know how long her fish will live, her father tells her that well-cared fish can live 2 years longer than dogs live. On average, dogs live 4 times as long as hamsters live. And hamsters live an average of 2.5 years. How long can a fish live?
