Question: Felicia is baking a cake. She needs 2 cups of flour, a cup of white sugar, a 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and a 1/2 cup of oil. Her only measuring scoop is 1/4 cup. How many times does she fill it to complete the measurements?
Answer: She fills it 8 times for the flour because 2 / (1 / 4) = 8. She fills it 4 times for the white sugar because 1 / (1 / 4) = 4. She fills is 2 times for the oil because (1 / 2) / (1 / 4) = 2. She fills it 1 time for the brown sugar because she needs exactly 1 / 4 of a cup. She fills is 15 times because 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 equals 15. The answer is 15.

Question: Janet buys 45-pound containers of cat litter for $21 each. If her cat litter box holds 15 pounds of cat litter, and she changes out the litter weekly, how much will it cost, in dollars, for her to buy enough litter to last 210 days?
Answer: If she changes the box weekly, then in 210 days, she will change the box 210 / 7 = 30 times. At 15 pounds of litter for every box change, she will require 30 * 15 = 450 pounds of cat litter in 210 days. If she buys 45 - pound containers, then for 450 pounds she will need to buy 450 / 45 = 10 containers of litter. At $21 per container, to buy enough cat litter for 210 days, it will cost 10 * $21 = $210. The answer is 210.

Question: Three years from now, Tully will be twice as old as Kate. How old was Tully a year ago if Kate is now 29 years old?
Answer: Three years from now, Kate will be 29 years + 3 years = 32 years old. So by that time, Tully will be 32 years x 2 = 64 years old. This means, Tully is 64 years - 3 years = 61 years old now. Therefore, Tully was 61 years - 1 year = 60 years old last year. The answer is 60.
