Q: Amy is collecting candy for the car pool. She has 5 chocolate bars, 7 times as many M&Ms as chocolate bars, and 6 times as many marshmallows as M&Ms. Amy then arranges the candies into baskets. If she fills each basket with 10 candies, how many baskets will Amy fill?
A: Amy has 5 * 7 = 35 M&Ms. Amy has 35 * 6 = 210 marshmallows. Amy has 5 + 35 + 210 = 250 candies. She fills 250 / 10 = 25 baskets. The answer is 25.
Question: Jack and Jill race up the hill to see who gets there fastest. Jack ran up the first half of the hill in 19 seconds. He finished running up the hill 7 seconds before Jill did. If Jill finished the race in 32 seconds, how long did it take Jack to run up the second half of the hill?
Answer: Since Jack was faster than Jill, his total running time must have been 32 - 7 = 25 seconds. Subtracting the the time he spent running up the first half of the hill shows that it took 25 - 19 = 6 seconds to run up the second half of the hill. The answer is 6.

A: The number of bicycle wheels is 2 × 3 = 6. The number of tricycle wheels is 3 × 4 = 12. The number of unicycle wheels is 1 × 7 = 7. The total number of wheels is 6 + 12 + 7 = 25. The answer is 25.
Question: A small airplane can seat 10 people in first class, 30 in business class, and 50 in economy class seating. If economy class is half full, and business class and first class have the same number of people together as economy class, how many seats are unoccupied in business class if only three people on the flight have first class seats?
Answer: There are 50 / 2 = 25 people in economy class. There are 25 people in business first and business class, so there are 25 - 3 = 22 in business class. Thus, there are 30 - 22 = 8 unoccupied seats in business class. The answer is 8.
Q: Carson leans over the railing at the zoo to get the perfect selfie and falls into the combined wombat and rhea enclosure. There are 9 wombats and 3 rheas. If each wombat claws him 4 times and each rhea claws him once, how many times does he get clawed?
A:
First find the total number of times the wombats claw him: 9 wombats * 4 claws / wombat = 36 claws. Then add the number of times the rheas claw him to find the total: 36 claws + 3 claws = 39 claws. The answer is 39.
