Answer the following question.
A bottle can hold 2 cups of water. How many cups of water are needed to fill up 10 whole bottles and 5 half-capacity bottles?
Step-by-step reasoning process: For 10 whole bottles, you will need 10 * 2 = 20 cups of water. With 5 half - capacity bottles, it requires 5 * 1 = 5 cups of water. In total, you need to have 25 + 5 = 30 cups of water to fill them all.
The answer is 30.

Answer the following question.
Carter has a 14-hour road trip. He wants to stop every 2 hours to stretch his legs. He also wants to make 2 additional stops for food and 3 additional stops for gas. If each pit stop takes 20 minutes, how many hours will his road trip become?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He has a 14 - hour trip and wants to stop every 2 hours so that's 14 / 2 = 7 pit stops. He will make 7 pit stops plus 2 more for food and 3 more for gas for a total of 7 + 2 + 3 = 12 pit stops. Each pit stop will take 20 minutes and he is making 12 stops so that's 20 * 12 = 240 minutes. 60 minutes are in an hour and he's adding 240 minutes to his trip so that's 240 / 60 = 4 more hours. His trip started as 14 hours and he will add an additional 4 hours in pit stops for a total of a 14 + 4 = 18 hour long trip.
The answer is 18.

Answer the following question.
Sabrina is collecting herbs to make a poultice for her grandmother. She needs twice as many basil leaves as sage leaves and 5 fewer sage leaves than verbena leaves. If she needs 12 basil leaves, how many leaves total does she need?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the number of sage leaves Sabrina needs: 12 basil / 2 basil / sage = 6 sage. Then add 5 to find the total number of verbena leaves she needs: 6 sage + 5 = 11 verbena. Finally, add up all the different leaves to find the total number: 6 sage + 11 verbena + 12 basil = 29 leaves.
The answer is 29.

Answer the following question.
Four small panda bears and five bigger panda bears eat 25 pounds and 40 pounds of fresh bamboo sprouts every day, respectively. How many pounds of bamboo do the 9 pandas eat in a week?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The small panda bears eat a total of 4 x 25 = 100 pounds of bamboo every day. The bigger panda bears eat a total of 5 x 40 = 200 pounds of bamboo every day. So, the 9 pandas eat a total of 100 + 200 = 300 pounds of bamboo every day. Therefore, they eat a total of 300 x 7 = 2100 pounds in a week.
The answer is 2100.
