Q: The sky currently has 4 times as many cirrus clouds as cumulus clouds, and 12 times as many cumulus clouds as cumulonimbus clouds. If the sky currently has 3 cumulonimbus clouds, how many cirrus clouds are in the sky at this moment?
A: The sky has 3 * 12 = 36 cumulus clouds. The sky has 4 * 36 = 144 cirrus clouds. The answer is 144.
Question: A pen is longer than the rubber by 3 centimeters, and shorter than the pencil by 2 centimeters. Considering the pencil is 12 centimeters long, what is the total length of the rubber, the pen, and the pencil altogether?
Answer: The pen is shorter than the pencil by 2 centimeters, so it's 12 - 2 = 10 centimeters long. That means the rubber is 10 - 3 = 7 centimeters long. So all accessories are 7 + 10 + 12 = 29 centimeters long altogether. The answer is 29.
[Question]Carla needs to bring water to her animals. Each horse needs twice as much water as a pig, and the chickens drink from one tank that needs 30 gallons. How many gallons of water does Carla need to bring if she has 8 pigs and 10 horses and each pig needs 3 gallons of water?
[Answer]First figure out how much water all the pigs need: 8 pigs * 3 gallons / pig = 24 gallons. Then figure out how much water one horse needs by multiplying a pig's needs by 2: 3 gallons * 2 = 6 gallons. Now find how much water all the horses need: 10 horses * 6 gallons / horse = 60 gallons. Finally, add up all the animals' water needs: 24 gallons + 60 gallons + 30 gallons = 114 gallons. The answer is 114.
Q: On his calculator, August had solved a math problem with an answer of 600. The following math problem had an answer twice as big as the answer of the first math problem, and the third math problem had an answer 400 less than the combined total answers of the first and the second math problems. What's the total of August's answers from solving the three math problems on his calculator?
A: August solved a math problem that had an answer twice as big as the answer of the first math problem, meaning the next answer was 600 * 2 = 1200. The first math problem and the second math problem has answers totaling 1200 + 600 = 1800. The third math problem had an answer 400 less than the combined total answers of the first and the second math problems, meaning the third answer was 1800 - 400 = 1400. Altogether, the math problems that August solved on his computer had answers totaling 1800 + 1400 = 3200. The answer is 3200.
Question: Oli's banana split has 4 scoops of ice cream while Victoria has twice more scoops of ice cream than Oli's. How many more scoops of ice cream does Victoria have than Oli?

Q: Tom fills a 250 pound sandbag 80% full. But the filling material he is using is 40% heavier than sand. How much does the bag weigh?
A:
The bag full of sand would weigh 250 * .8 = 200 pounds. The filling material would make it 200 * .4 = 80 pounds heavier. So it weighs 200 + 80 = 280 pounds. The answer is 280.
