Reasoning and answer: Madeline spends 4 * 7 = 28 hours on homework. She spends 8 * 7 - 56 hours sleeping. Therefore, she is busy 28 + 18 + 56 + 20 = 122 hours per week. There are 7 * 24 = 168 hours per week. Thus, Madeline has 168 - 122 = 46 hours left over.
The answer: 46

Reasoning and answer: In the final 40 seconds, the Fireflies scored seven 3 - point baskets to improve their score by 3 * 7 = 21 points. Thus, the Fireflies final total was 74 + 21 = 95 points. In the final 40 seconds, the hornets scored an additional two 2 - point baskets to improve their score by 2 * 2 = 4 points. Thus, the Hornets final total was 86 + 4 = 90 points. The final difference in points between the two teams was 95 - 90 = 5 points.
The answer: 5

If the sum of their ages is 140, and Asaf is 50 years old, Alexander is 140 - 50 = 90 years old. The age difference between Asaf and Alexander's age is 90 - 50 = 40. Since the age difference between Asaf and Alexander's age is half the total number of pencils Asaf has, Asaf has 2 * 40 = 80 pencils. If Alexander has 60 more pencils than Asaf, Alexander has 80 + 60 = 140 pencils. Together, they have 140 + 80 = 220 pencils.
The answer: 220
Reverse engineering the question: The age difference between Asaf and Alexander's age is half the total number of pencils Asaf has. The sum of their ages is 140, and Asaf is 50 years old. If Alexander has 60 more pencils than Asaf, calculate the total number of pencils they have together.
