Q: Carla's teacher tells her that she needs to collect 30 leaves and 20 bugs for a project that's due in 10 days. How many items does Carla need to collect each day if she always wants to collect the same daily amount?
A: First find the total number of items Carla needs to find by adding the number of leaves to the number of bugs: 30 leaves + 20 bugs = 50 items. Now divide the total number of items by the number of days Carla has to do her assignment to find the daily collection amount: 50 items / 10 days = 5 items / day. The answer is 5.

[Question]Eliza buys 200 ornamental rings to sell in their local shop, twice the number of the remaining stock. After selling 3/4 of the total stock, her mother buys 300 more ornamental rings, and after three days, sells 150. What's the total number of ornamental rings remaining in the store?
[Answer]If Eliza restocked twice the original number of ornamental rings, the number was 200 / 2 = 100 rings. The total number of ornamental rings in stock is now 200 + 100 = 300 rings. When she sells 3 / 4 of the stock, the total number of rings sold is 3 / 4 * 300 = 225 rings. The remaining stock is 300 - 225 = 75 rings. When her mother buys 300 more rings, the stock is boosted to 75 + 300 = 375 rings. She then sells out 150, reducing the stock to 375 - 150 = 225 rings. The answer is 225.

Question: Jill and her brother Jack are going apple picking. Jill's basket can hold twice as much as Jack's basket when both are full. Jack's basket is full when it has 12 apples, but currently space for 4 more. How many times could Jack's current number of apples fit into Jill's basket?
Answer:
Since Jill's basket can hold twice as much as Jack's, and Jack's is capable of holding 12 apples in total, this means Jill's basket can hold 12 * 2 = 24 apples in total. Since Jack has 4 less than the maximum amount of apples he can fit in his basket, this means Jack has 12 - 4 = 8 apples in his basket. Therefore, Jill's basket can hold 24 / 8 = 3 times the amount of apples Jack is currently carrying. The answer is 3.
