Answer the following question.
James decides to use tannerite to blow things up to reveal his baby's gender. The explosion ignites both his neighbors' houses and attracts a police officer, who arrests James on two count of arson, one count of manufacturing explosives, and one count of domestic terrorism. If the arson counts each carry a 6-year sentence, the explosives sentence is twice as long as the total arson sentence, and the domestic terrorism charge's sentence is 20 years, how long might James spend in jail?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the total sentence length for the arson: 6 years / count * 2 counts = 12 years. Then find the total sentence length for the explosives: 12 years * 2 = 24 years. Then add each sentence to find the total sentence length: 12 years + 24 years + 20 years = 56 years.
The answer is 56.

Answer the following question.
Marta is arranging floral centerpieces for a reception party. Each arrangement needs to have 8 roses,12 daisies, 3 snapdragons and twice as many lilies. The reception will have 10 tables. How many flowers will she need in total to fill this order?
Step-by-step reasoning process: She needs twice as many lilies as the 3 snapdragons in the arrangement so she needs 2 * 3 = 6 lilies. She needs 8 roses, 12 daisies, 3 snapdragons and 6 lilies for a total of 8 + 12 + 3 + 6 = 29 flowers per arrangement. She needs 29 flowers per each of the 10 tables for a total of 29 * 10 = 290 flowers.
The answer is 290.

Answer the following question.
Each bird eats 12 beetles per day, each snake eats 3 birds per day, and each jaguar eats 5 snakes per day. If there are 6 jaguars in a forest, how many beetles are eaten each day?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the total number of snakes eaten: 5 snakes / jaguar * 6 jaguars = 30 snakes. Then find the total number of birds eaten per day: 30 snakes * 3 birds / snake = 90 snakes. Then multiply the number of snakes by the number of beetles per snake to find the total number of beetles eaten per day: 90 snakes * 12 beetles / snake = 1080 beetles.
The answer is 1080.

Answer the following question.
Sonja makes her own peanut butter with peanuts and oil in a blender. She uses a ratio of two ounces of oil to smooth out every eight ounces of peanuts. Her last batch of peanut butter weighed 20 ounces. How many ounces of oil did she use?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Sonja uses 2 ounces of oil for 8 ounces of peanuts to make 2 + 8 = 10 ounces of peanut butter. Her last batch weighed 20 ounces, so she made 20 / 10 = 2 times her ratio. Thus, she used 2 * 2 = 4 ounces of oil.
The answer is 4.
