Question: Wally gives 3/4 of his 400 tickets to his two friends Jensen and Finley, who share the tickets in a ratio of 4:11. How many tickets does Finley get?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Wally gives his friends 3 / 4 * 400 = 300 tickets to share. The total ratio that represents the tickets that Jensen and Finley share is 4 + 11 = 15. From the total ratio, the fraction that represents the share that Finley got is 11 / 15, and since he shared with Jensen 300 tickets, he got 11 / 15 * 300 = 220 tickets.
So the answer is 220.

Question: Amy bought a 15-foot spool of string to cut up into wicks for making candles.  If she cuts up the entire string into an equal number of 6-inch and 12-inch wicks, what is the total number of wicks she will have cut?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: 15 feet of string is 15 * 12 = 180 inches long. If for every 6 - inch wick she also cuts a 12 - inch wick, then the pair of wicks are 6 + 12 = 18 inches long. Thus, in 180 inches of string, she can cut 180 / 18 = 10 pairs of wicks. 10 pairs of wicks are a total of 10 * 2 = 20 wicks.
So the answer is 20.

Question: A box holds 2 dozen doughnuts. If the family ate 8 doughnuts, how many doughnuts are left?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Two dozens of doughnuts are equal to 2 x 12 = 24 doughnuts. Since 8 doughnuts were eaten, therefore 24 - 8 = 16 doughnuts are left.
So the answer is 16.

Question: Jason bought 4 dozen cupcakes. He plans to give 3 cupcakes each to his cousins. How many cousins does Jason have?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Since a dozen is equal to 12, then Jason bought 12 x 4 = 48 cupcakes. So, Jason has 48 / 3 = 16 cousins.
So the answer is 16.
