The bottle was 1.5 * 32 = 48 ounces. So she drinks 48 + 12 = 60 ounces of water.
The answer: 60
Reverse engineering the question: Kim drinks a 1.5-quart bottle of water. She then drinks a 12 ounce can of water. How many ounces of water did she drink?


Reasoning and answer: First find the number of cars not counting the engine and caboose: 71 cars - 2 cars = 69 cars. Let p be the number of passenger cars and c be the number of cargo cars. We know that p + c = 69 and c = p / 2 + 3. Substituting the second equation into the first, we get p + p / 2 + 3 = 69. Combining like terms, we get 1.5p + 3 = 69. Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get 1.5p = 66. Dividing both sides by 1.5, we get p = 44.
The answer: 44

Question: A particular train has some passenger cars and a number of cargo cars equal to half the number of passenger cars plus three. If the total number of cars is 71, counting the engine and caboose, how many passenger cars are in the train?


First, we find what Tony's temperature is by adding his normal temperature of 95 to the increase in temperature from the sickness of 10, performing 95 + 10 = 105 degrees. Since the threshold for having a fever is 100, we subtract 100 from 105 to find out the answer, performing 105 - 100 = 5 degrees above a fever.
The answer: 5
Reverse engineering the question: If Tony normally has a temperature of 95 degrees, and he comes down with a sickness that raises his temperature by 10 degrees, how many degrees above the threshold of fever is his temperature if a fever is anything over 100 degrees?


Reasoning and answer: 88 / 2 = 44 dogs are playing with toys. 88 / 4 = 22 dogs are barking. 88 - 12 - 44 - 22 = 10 dogs are not doing anything.
The answer: 10
What was the question?
Question: There are 88 dogs in a park. 12 of the dogs are running. Half of them are playing with toys. A fourth of them are barking. How many dogs are not doing anything?


30 x 1 / 5 = 6 students like Math. 30 x 1 / 3 = 10 students like English. So, 6 + 10 = 16 students like either Math or English. Thus, 30 - 16 = 14 students neither like Math nor English. Since 1 / 7 of the remaining like Science, therefore 14 x 1 / 7 = 2 students like Science. Hence, 14 - 2 = 12 students neither likes the 3 subjects.
The answer: 12
Reverse engineering the question: In a class of 30 students, the teacher polls the students on their favorite subject. 1/5 of the students like Math, and 1/3 like English. 1/7 of the remaining students like Science. The rest don’t have a favorite subject. How many students don’t have a favorite subject?


If Johnny had half as much practice as he currently has as of 20 days ago, this means he has 20 * 2 = 40 days worth of practice currently. Therefore, to have three times as much practice as he currently has, he'd need to practice for 40 * 3 = 120 days. Since he's already practiced for 40 days, this means he needs to practice or 120 - 40 = 80 more days.
The answer: 80
Reverse engineering the question:
Johnny has been playing guitar for a while now. He practices the same amount each day. As of 20 days ago he had half as much practice as he has currently. How many days will pass before Johnny has 3 times as much practice as he does currently?
