Question: A boy has 12 oranges. He gives one-third of this number to his brother, one-fourth of the remainder to his friend and keeps the rest for himself. How many does his friend get?
Answer: He gives a third of 12 oranges to his brother which is 12 * (1 / 3) = 4 oranges. He has 12 - 4 = 8 oranges left. He gives a fourth of 8 oranges to his friend which is 8 * (1 / 4) = 2 oranges. The answer is 2.
[Question]Agnes is 25 years old and her daughter, Jane is 6 years old. In how many years will Agnes be twice as old as Jane?
[Answer]Let the number of years after which Agnes will be twice as old as Jane be x. After x years, 25 + x = 2(6 + x). Solving the equation by expanding and collecting like terms gives: x - 2x = 12 - 25. Further solving gives: - x =  - 13. Multiplying both sides by - 1 gives x = 13. The answer is 13.
Q: Kara has to drink 4 ounces of water every time she takes her medication. Her medication instructions are to take one tablet three times a day. She followed the instructions for one week, but in the second week, she forgot twice on one day. How many ounces of water did she drink with her medication over those two weeks?
A: Kara drinks 4 * 3 = 12 ounces of water with her medication each day. In a week, she drinks 12 * 7 = 84 ounces of water with her medication. In two weeks, she drinks 84 * 2 = 168 ounces of water with her medication. One day, she forgot two tablets, so she did not drink 2 * 4 = 8 ounces of water. Thus, Kara drank 168 - 8 = 160 ounces of water with her medication over two weeks. The answer is 160.

[Question]Leo and Ryan together have $48. Ryan owns 2/3 of the amount. Leo remembered that Ryan owed him $10 but he also owed Ryan $7. After the debts had been settled, how much money does Leo have?
[Answer]Ryan owns $48 x 2 / 3 = $32 of the $48. While Leo owns $48 - $32 = $16 of the $48. Leo had $16 + $10 = $26 after Ryan paid him $10. But since he owed Ryan $7, then Leo has $26 - $7 = $19. The answer is 19.
