Consider the Q and A. Q: Dallas and Austin went to the pick-your-own orchard. Dallas picked 14 bags of apples and 9 bags of pears. Austin picked 6 bags of apples more than Dallas, and 5 fewer bags of pears than Dallas. How many bags of fruit did Austin pick, in total?
A: 24
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He picked 14 + 6 = 20 bags of apples. He picked 9 - 5 = 4 bags of pears. He picked 20 + 4 = 24 bags of fruit in total.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Pat is hunting for sharks to take photos. For every photo he takes he earns $15. He sees a shark about every 10 minutes. His boat fuel costs $50 an hour. If he shark hunts for 5 hours, how much money can he expect to make in profit?
A: 200
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He will use $250 in fuel because 5 x 50 = 250. He will be shark hunting for 300 minutes because 5 x 60 = 300. He can expect to see 30 sharks because 300 / 10 = 30. He will make $450 off these photos because 30 x 15 = 450. He will make $200 in profit because 450 - 250 = 200.

Consider the Q and A. Q: There are 28 garden gnomes in a yard. Three-fourths of them have red hats, and the rest have blue hats. Half the garden gnomes have big noses instead of small noses. If six gnomes with blue hats have big noses, how many gnomes with red hats have small noses?
A: 13
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Half the gnomes have big noses, so 28 / 2 = 14 have big noses. Three - quarters of the gnomes have red hats, so 28 * 3 / 4 = 21 gnomes have red hats. There are 6 gnomes with blue hats and big noses, so there are 14 - 6 = 8 with red hats and big noses. Thus, there are 21 - 8 = 13 gnomes with red hats that have small noses.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Based on a 2008 study, children 6–11 years old spend 45 minutes each day watching television. How many hours do these children watch television in 2 weeks if they are allowed to watch television 4 days a week?
A: 6
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process:
The children watch a total of 45 x 4 = 180 minutes in a week. In hours, this is equal to 180 / 60 = 3 hours a week. Thus, these children watch 3 x 2 = 6 hours in two weeks.
