Question: Two days ago, the temperature in the morning went up 1.5 degrees every 2 hours. If the temperature was 50 degrees at 3 A.M., what was the temperature at 11 A.M.?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: At 5 A.M., the temperature was 50 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 51.5 degrees. At 7 A.M., the temperature was 51.5 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 53 degrees. At 9 A.M., the temperature was 53 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 54.5 degrees. At 11 A.M., the temperature was 54.5 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 56 degrees.
So the answer is 56.

Question: James needs 40 fish to make one sushi roll. He goes to the market and buys 400 fish, but later finds out that 20% of the fish have gone bad and cannot be used. How many sushi rolls did James make with the remaining fish?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If James bought 400 fish, the number of fish that were bad is 20 / 100 * 400 = 80. The remaining fish that he used to make the sushi rolls is 400 - 80 = 320. If 40 fish are required to make one sushi roll, 320 fish will make 320 / 40 = 8 sushi rolls.
So the answer is 8.

Question: An iron bar measures 12 cm by 8 cm by 6 cm. A factory wants to melt ten iron bars and mold them into iron balls. Each iron ball has a volume of 8 cubic cm. How many iron balls have been molded?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The volume of 1 iron bar is 12 cm x 8 cm x 6 cm = 576 cubic cm. The volume of 10 iron bars is 10 x 576 cubic cm = 5760 cubic cm. Therefore, there are 5760 / 8 = 720 iron balls that have been molded.
So the answer is 720.

Question: Jose needs 12 tablespoons of lemon juice to make a dozen of his lemon cupcakes. Every lemon provides 4 tablespoons of lemon juice. If he needs to make 3 dozen cupcakes, how many lemons will he need?
Answer:

So the answer is 9.
