Reasoning and answer: 35 miles into 5 equal portions will be 35 / 5 = 7 miles each. Abel traveled at a speed of 40 miles per hour for 0.7 hours so he will cover 40 * 0.7 = 28 miles. 7 miles make a portion so 28 miles is equivalent to 28 / 7 = 4 portions.
The answer: 4

3 * (16 * 5) = 240 square feet. 2 * (8 * 4) = 64 square feet. 240 + 64 = 304 square feet. The gardens have a total of 304 square feet.
The answer: 304
Reverse engineering the question: Mancino is tending 3 gardens that each measure 16 feet by 5 feet. His sister, Marquita, is tilling the soil for two gardens that each measure 8 feet by 4 feet. How many square feet combined are in all their gardens?

Question: Alex had 36 ounces of jelly beans. He ate 6 ounces. Then he divided the rest equally into 3 piles. How much does each pile weigh?


The deck has 54 cards because 52 + 2 = 54. There are three players because 1 + 2 = 3. Each player gets 18 cards because 54 / 3 = 18.
The answer: 18
Reverse engineering the question: Aubrey has a deck of cards with 52 cards in it. She then adds two additional cards to the deck. If she splits the deck evenly among herself and two other players, how many cards does each player have?


Reasoning and answer: First find the total stitches in all the flowers by multiplying the number of stitches per flower by the number of flowers: 50 flowers * 60 stitches / flower = 3000 stitches. Then do the same for the total number of stitches in the unicorns: 3 unicorns * 180 stitches / unicorn = 540 stitches. Then add the number of stitches for all the flowers, unicorns, and Godzilla to find the total number of stitches: 800 stitches + 540 stitches + 3000 stitches = 4340 stitches. Finally, divide the total number of stitches by the number of stitches Carolyn can make per hour to find how many hours she spends embroidering: 4340 stitches / 4 stitches / minute = 1085 minutes.
The answer: 1085
