Question: There were 90 jellybeans in a jar. Samantha snuck 24 jellybeans out of the jar, without being seen. Shelby ate 12 jellybeans from the jar. Their mom, Shannon, refilled the jar with half as much as Samantha and Shelby took out. How many jellybeans are in the jar now?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: There were 90 - 24 = 66 jellybeans in the jar after Samantha snuck some. There were 66 - 12 = 54 jellybean in the jar after Shelby ate some. Samantha and Shelby took 24 + 12 = 36 jellybeans from the jar. Shelby refilled the jar with 36 / 2 = 18 jellybeans. There are 54 + 18 = 72 jellybeans in the jar.
So the answer is 72.

Question: Amber and Josh are flying to France for vacation. Their flight leaves at 8:00 pm and as an international flight, it's recommended that they check in 2 hours early. It will take 45 minutes to drive to the airport and another 15 minutes to park their vehicle and make their way to the terminal. What is the latest time they can leave their house to make it to the airport in time?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: It will take 45 minutes to drive to the airport and 15 minutes to park so that's 45 + 15 = 60 minutes (1 hour). They need to check in 2 hours early and it will 1 hour to drive there and park so that's 2 + 1 = 3 hours. Their flight leaves at 8:00 pm and it will take 3 hours to drive there and check in so the latest they can leave is 8 - 3 = 5:00 pm.
So the answer is 5.

Question: Abel leaves for a vacation destination 1000 miles away driving 50 miles per hour. An hour later Alice leaves from the same point for the same destination, traveling 40 miles per hour. How much earlier does Abel reach the destination in minutes??
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Abel needs to travel 1000 miles going 50 miles per hour, this means it will take him 1000 / 50 = 20 hours to get there. If Alice needs to travel 1000 miles going 40 miles per hour, this means it will take her 1000 / 40 = 25 hours to get there. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, this means it will take Abel 20 * 60 = 1200 minutes to arrive. Similarly, this means it will take Alice 25 * 60 = 1500 minutes to arrive. This means Abel arrives 1500 - 1200 = 300 minutes before Alice if they both leave simultaneously. However, since Abel had a head start of 1 hour, which is 60 minutes, this means Abel arrives 300 + 60 = 360 minutes ahead of Alice.
So the answer is 360.
