Consider the Q and A. Q: Carter plays soccer on the school team. On average, he scores 4 goals per game. Shelby scores half as many as Carter per game on average. And Judah, on average, scores three less than twice as many goals per game as Shelby. If these three teammates are the only ones that score goals for the school team, what is the average total number of goals scored by the team per game?
A: 7
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: On average, Shelby scores half as many as Carter per game for an average of 4 / 2 = 2 goals per game. Judah, on average, scores three less than twice as many goals per game as Shelby, for a total of (2 * 2) - 3 = 1 goal per game. Therefore, the average total number of goals scored by the team per game is 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 goals per game.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Bill is a painter who is hired to paint a client’s house. The house has three bedrooms, and twice as many other rooms as bedrooms. The client wants each bedroom painted a different color, and the other rooms painted white. Each room takes 2 gallons of paint. Color paint comes in 1-gallon paint cans, and white paint comes in 3-gallon cans. How many cans of paint will Bill need for the whole house?
A: 10
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Bill needs 2 * 3 = 6 gallons of color paint for the 3 bedrooms. Thus, he needs 6 / 1 = 6 cans of color paint for the bedrooms. There are 2 * 3 = 6 other rooms in the house. He needs 2 * 6 = 12 gallons of white paint for the other rooms. Thus, he needs 12 / 3 = 4 cans of white paint. In all, Bill needs 4 + 6 = 10 cans of paint for the whole house.

Consider the Q and A. Q: James can do a farmer's walk with 300 pounds per hand for 20 meters. He can lift 30% more if he only goes 10 meters. In addition, lifting straps give him another 20%. How much can he move with lifting straps for 10 meters if he increases his 20-meter distance without straps by 50 pounds and everything else increases in proportion?
A: 546
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: After the increase, he can lift 300 + 50 = 350 pounds. Decreasing the distance increase the amount he can lift by 350 * .3 = 105 pounds. So he can lift 350 + 105 = 455 for 10 feet. The straps add another 455 * .2 = 91 pounds. So his total weight is 455 + 91 = 546 pounds per hand.

Consider the Q and A. Q: James goes out to eat. He orders a steak and egg meal for $16. He is with his friend, who orders chicken fried steak for $14. His friend pays for half the bill and James pays the tip along with his half of the bill. They tip 20%. How much did James pay?
A: 21
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process:
The meals cost 16 + 14 = $30. So each paid 30 / 2 = $15. James left a tip of 30 * .2 = $6. So James paid 15 + 6 = $21.
