Q: The total number of dogs at an animal rescue center is 200. Mr. Tanner, the manager at the rescue center, gets a call that 100 dogs at another rescue center are to be moved because of weather problems. He agrees to bring the dogs to his rescue center, and after one week, gives out 40 animals for adoption. After a month, 60 more dogs were adopted by dog lovers. What's the total number of remaining animals in the adoption center after the last adoptions?
A: After taking in 100 more dogs, the number of dogs in the rescue center increased to 200 + 100 = 300. After a week, the number of dogs was reduced to 300 - 40 = 260 after the adoptions. So, there are 260 - 60 = 200 dogs left after 60 more dogs were adopted. The answer is 200.

Q: A river is to be used for a boat race. If each boat is 3 feet across and they must have at least 2 feet between them or the riverbank, how many boats can race in a river that is 42 feet across?
A: Each boat will require 3 feet across to fit itself and 2 feet space on one side for a total of 2 + 3 = 5 feet per boat. The last boat will need an additional 2 feet space on its other side, so this 2 feet should be subtracted first from the 42 feet which leaves 42 - 2 = 40 feet. 5 feet per boat on the remaining 40 feet for a total of 40 / 5 = 8 boats. The answer is 8.

Q: Kelly needs school supplies to teach her class for an art project. She has 8 students and they will need 3 pieces of construction paper each. In addition to the construction paper, she needs to buy 6 bottles of glue for everyone to share. After Kelly purchases these supplies, she dropped half of them down a storm drain. Class is about to start, but she manages to rush to the store and buy 5 more pieces of construction paper. How many supplies are left?
A:
Kelly needs 8 * 3 = 24 pieces of construction paper. She buys glue which grows the supplies to 24 + 6 = 30. Unfortunately, she dropped 30 / 2 = 15 supplies. Rushing to the store, she buys more construction paper bringing her supplies back to 15 + 5 = 20. The answer is 20.
