Q: At the salad bar, Grandma put three mushrooms on her salad. She also added twice as many cherry tomatoes as mushrooms, 4 times as many pickles as cherry tomatoes, and 4 times as many bacon bits as pickles. If one third of the bacon bits were red, than how many red bacon bits did Grandma put on her salad?
A: 32
Step-by-step reasoning process: Twice as many tomatoes as mushrooms is 3 * 2 = 6 tomatoes. Four times as many pickles as tomatoes is 4 * 6 = 24 pickles. Four times as many bacon bits as pickles is 24 * 4 = 96 bacon bits. One third of 96 is 96 / 3 = 32 red bacon bits.


Q: Haley grows at the rate of 3 inches every year. If she is currently 20 inches tall, what will be her height after 10 years?
A: 50
Step-by-step reasoning process: After 10 years, growing at the rate of 3 inches every year, Haley will have grown by 3 * 10 = 30 inches. If she is currently 20 inches tall, her height after 10 years will be 20 + 30 = 50 inches.


Q: Police officer A patrols 36 streets in 4 hours. His colleague, officer B, patrols 55 streets in 5 hours. How many streets will both officers patrol in one hour?
A: 20
Step-by-step reasoning process: Officer A patrols 36 streets / 4 hours = 9 streets / hour. Officer B patrols 55 streets / 5 hours = 11 streets / hour. Together officer A and B patrol 9 streets / hour + 11 streets / hour = 20 streets / hour.


Q: Archie is playing with his marbles outside. He loses 60% of them into the street. Of the remaining ones, he loses half down a sewer. If he has 20 left, how many did he start with?
A: 100
Step-by-step reasoning process: He had 40 before losing them into the sewer because 20 x 2 = 40. He started with 100 because 40 / .4 = 100.
