Q: Jason is climbing a telephone pole next to a tree his friend Matt is climbing. Matt can climb 6 feet/minute and Jason can climb 12 feet per minute. After 7 minutes, how much higher will Jason be than Matt?
A: First find the distance Matt climbs in 7 minutes: 6 feet / minute * 7 minutes = 42 feet. Then find the distance Jason climbs in 7 minutes: 12 feet / minute * 7 minutes = 84 feet. Then subtract the distance Matt climbs from the distance Jason climbs to find the difference: 84 feet - 42 feet = 42 feet. The answer is 42.
Question: Jennifer has ten pears, 20 oranges, and twice as many apples as pears. If she gives her sister two of each fruit, how many fruits does she have left?
Answer: Jennifer has 2 * 10 = 20 apples. She has a total of 10 + 20 + 20 = 50 fruits. She gives her sister 2 pears + 2 oranges + 2 apples = 6 fruits. After giving her sister 2 of each fruit, she has 50 - 6 = 44 fruits left. The answer is 44.
[Question]If a tarantula has eight legs, and one tarantula egg sac can contain 1000 tarantulas, how many baby tarantula legs would be in one less than 5 egg sacs?
[Answer]One less than 5 is 5 - 1 = 4. If one tarantula egg sac can contain 1000 tarantulas, then four egg sacs can hold 4 * 1000 = 4000 tarantula babies. If each tarantula baby has eight legs, the 4 egg sacs can contain 4000 * 8 = 32,000 baby tarantula legs. The answer is 32000.
Q: Riku has 25 times more stickers than Kristoff. If Kristoff has 85 stickers, how many stickers does Riku have?

Question: Cooper is building a brick fence around all four sides of his property. Each of the four walls of his fence is 20 bricks long, 5 bricks high, and 2 bricks deep. How many bricks does Cooper need to complete his fence?
Answer: A single layer of each wall requires 5 rows * 20 bricks per row = 100 bricks. As each wall has a thickness of 2 bricks, he will need 100 bricks * 2 = 200 bricks per wall. If the complete fence contains four walls, he will require a total of 200 * 4 = 800 bricks. The answer is 800.
Q: Each bird eats 12 beetles per day, each snake eats 3 birds per day, and each jaguar eats 5 snakes per day. If there are 6 jaguars in a forest, how many beetles are eaten each day?
A:
First find the total number of snakes eaten: 5 snakes / jaguar * 6 jaguars = 30 snakes. Then find the total number of birds eaten per day: 30 snakes * 3 birds / snake = 90 snakes. Then multiply the number of snakes by the number of beetles per snake to find the total number of beetles eaten per day: 90 snakes * 12 beetles / snake = 1080 beetles. The answer is 1080.
