Question: Kim's dad would buy her 2 candy bars a week. She would eat 1 candy bar every 4 weeks, saving the rest. After 16 weeks, how many candy bars did Kim have saved?
Answer: Kim got 2 candy bars a week for 16 weeks so she got 2 * 16 = 32 candy bars. She would only eat 1 candy bar every 4 weeks so in 16 weeks she only ate 16 / 4 = 4 candy bars. She saved 32 candy bars and only ate 4 so she still has 32 - 4 = 28 candy bars. The answer is 28.

Q: Lao is farming chickens. He can sell each chicken for $1.50. A bag of chicken feed weighs 20 pounds and costs $2. Each chicken will need 2 pounds of feed from the time it hatches to the time he sells it. If he makes $65 profit from selling chickens, how many did he sell?
A: A bag of feed is enough for 10 chickens because 20 / 2 = 10. Each chicken costs $.2 to raise because 2 / 10 = .2. Each chicken results in $1.3 of profit because 1.5 - .2 = 1.3. He sells 50 chickens because 65 / 1.3 = 50. The answer is 50.
Question: Mrs. Anderson bought 2 bags of 3-pound bag of cat food and another 2 bags of dog food that each weigh 2 more pounds than each bag of cat food. There are 16 ounces in each pound. How many ounces of pet food did Mrs. Anderson buy?
Answer: The two bags of cat food weigh 2 x 3 = 6 pounds. Each bag of dog food weighs 3 + 2 = 5 pounds. So two bags of dog food weigh 2 x 5 = 10 pounds. Thus, Mrs. Anderson bought 6 + 10 = 16 pounds of pet food. And 16 pounds is equal to 16 x 16 = 256 ounces. The answer is 256.
[Question]A row of houses all share a community space where they put up their clotheslines. There are 2 clotheslines for every house on the street. On the street, there are a total of 11 children and 20 adults. Each child currently has 4 items of clothing on the clotheslines and each adult currently has 3 items of clothing on the clotheslines. If each clothesline can hold 2 items of clothing and all of the clotheslines are full, how many houses are on the street?
[Answer]From the children, there are a total of 11 children * 4 items of clothing each = 44 items of clothing on the clotheslines. From the adults, there are a total of 20 adults * 3 items of clothing each = 60 items of clothing on the clotheslines. So there are a total of 44 + 60 = 104 items of clothing on the clotheslines. This means that there are 104 items of clothing / 2 items of clothing per clothesline = 52 clotheslines. There are 2 clotheslines per house so there must be 52 clotheslines / 2 = 26 houses on the street. The answer is 26.
[Question]There are 180 students in ninth grade. 1/4 of them bombed their finals because they were going through difficult breakups. 1/3rd of the rest didn't show up to take the test, and another 20 got less than a D. How many students passed their finals?
[Answer]
First find the number of students who went through breakups: 1 / 4 * 180 = 45 students. Then subtract that number from the total number: 180 students - 45 students = 135 students. Then divide that number by 3 to find the number of students who didn't show up to take the test: 135 students / 3 = 45 students. Then subtract the number of students who failed in each way from the total number to find the number who passed: 180 students - 45 students - 45 students - 20 students = 70 students. The answer is 70.
