Q: Mark has two dozen eggs to split with his three siblings. How many eggs does each person get to eat if they all eat the same amount?
A: There are 24 eggs because 2 x 12 = 24. There are four eaters because 1 + 3 = 4. They get 6 eggs each because 24 / 4 = 6. The answer is 6.
Question: Oliver had $9, then he saved $5 from his allowance and spent $4 on a frisbee and $3 on a puzzle. His friend gives him another $8 as it's his birthday. How much money does Oliver have left?
Answer: The total amount of money saved is $9 + $5 = $14. The total cost of the frisbee and the puzzle is $4 + $3 = $7. So Oliver has $14 - $7 = $7 left. His friend gives him $8, so now he has $7 + $8 = $15. The answer is 15.
[Question]The ratio of books to pens that Arlo has to buy for his school supplies is 7:3. If he bought a total of 400 stationery from the store, calculate the number of books he bought.
[Answer]The total ratio representing the stationery that Arlo has to buy for his school supplies is 7 + 3 = 10. The fraction representing the number of books that Arlo bought is 7 / 10, and since he bought a total of 400 books and pens, he bought 7 / 10 * 400 = 280 books. The answer is 280.
Q: Heather made four times as many pizzas as Craig made on their first day at work at Mr. Pizza Inns. On their second day, Heather made 20 fewer pizzas than Craig's number. If Craig made 40 pizzas on their first day and 60 more pizzas on their second day than their first day, calculate the total number of pizzas the two made together in the two days.
A: Craig made 40 pizzas on their first day at work, while heather made four times that number, a total of 4 * 40 = 160 pizzas. Together, they made 160 + 40 = 200 pizzas on their first day. On the second day, Craig made 60 more pizzas than his first day at work, which totals 60 + 40 = 100 pizzas. On the same day, Heather made 20 fewer pizzas than Craig, a total of 100 - 20 = 80 pizzas. Together, they made 80 + 100 = 180 pizzas on the second day. In the two days, the two of them made a total of 180 + 200 = 380 pizzas. The answer is 380.
Question: Koby and Cherie want to light fireworks. Koby has bought 2 boxes of fireworks while Cherie has just 1 box of fireworks. Koby’s boxes each contain 3 sparklers and 5 whistlers. Cherie’s box has 8 sparklers and 9 whistlers. In total, how many fireworks do Koby and Cherie have?
Answer: Each of Koby’s boxes contain 3 sparklers + 5 whistlers = 8 fireworks. So in total, Koby has 2 boxes * 8 fireworks per box = 16 fireworks. Cherie’s box of fireworks has 8 sparklers + 9 whistlers = 17 fireworks. Koby and Cherie therefore have a combined total of 16 fireworks from Koby + 17 fireworks from Cherie = 33 fireworks. The answer is 33.
