Q: Gail has two fish tanks. The first tank is twice the size of the second tank. There are 48 gallons of water in the first tank. She follows the rule of one gallon of water per inch of fish. If she keeps two-inch fish in the second tank and three-inch fish in the first tank, how many more fish would Gail have in the first tank than the second tank if one of the first tank fish eats another?
A: The second tank is 48 / 2 = 24 gallons. Following her rule, Gail keeps 24 / 2 = 12 two - inch fish in the second tank. She keeps 48 / 3 = 16 fish in the first tank. If one fish in the first tank ate another, she would have 16 - 1 = 15 fish in the first tank. Thus, Gail would have 15 - 12 = 3 more fish in the first tank. The answer is 3.

Q: Betty picked 16 strawberries. Matthew picked 20 more strawberries than Betty and twice as many as Natalie. They used their strawberries to make jam. One jar of jam used 7 strawberries and they sold each jar at $4. How much money were they able to make from the strawberries they picked?
A: Matthew picked 16 + 20 = 36 strawberries. Natalie picked 36 / 2 = 18 strawberries. All together, they have 16 + 36 + 18 = 70 strawberries. They can make 70 / 7 = 10 jars of strawberries. They earn 10 x $4 = $40 from the strawberries they picked. The answer is 40.
Question: There are six unicorns in the Enchanted Forest. Everywhere a unicorn steps, four flowers spring into bloom. The six unicorns are going to walk all the way across the forest side-by-side, a journey of 9 kilometers. If each unicorn moves 3 meters forward with each step, how many flowers bloom because of this trip?
Answer: First convert the total length of the journey from kilometers to meters: 9 kilometers * 1000 meters / kilometer = 9000 meters. Then divide this by the length of one step to find the number of steps in the journey: 9000 meters / 3 meters / step = 3000 steps. Then multiply the number of steps by the number of flowers per step to find how many flowers one unicorn creates on the journey: 3000 steps * 4 flowers / step = 12000 flowers. Then multiply the number of flowers per unicorn by the number of unicorns to find the total number of flowers created: 12000 flowers / unicorn * 6 unicorns = 72,000 flowers. The answer is 72000.
Q: Amber is baking cakes for her party. She has invited 8 friends and each one will want two slices of cake. Each cake makes 6 slices. If she bakes 4 cakes, how many slices will be left over at the end if she eats three herself?
A:
Her friends will eat 16 slices of cake because 8 x 2 = 16. There will be 19 slices eaten in total because 16 + 3 = 19. She is making 24 slices of cake because 4 x 6 = 24. There will be 5 pieces left over because 24 - 19 = 5. The answer is 5.
