A: With half as many crickets as roaches, he has 12 / 2 = 6 crickets. With twice as many caterpillars as scorpions, he has 3 * 2 = 6 caterpillars. In total, he has 12 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 27 insects in his bug collection. The answer is 27.
Question: The sum of Mario and Maria's ages now is 7. Mario is 1 year older than Maria. How old is Mario?
Answer: If x is Maria's age, then Mario's age is x + 1. The equation that represents the sum of their ages is x + x + 1 = 7. By combining like terms, the equation becomes 2x = 6. Hence, the value of x which represents the age of Maria is 6 / 2 = 3. So Mariu is 3 + 1 = 4 years old. The answer is 4.
[Question]A hot air balloon with 200 balloons is blowing up. After about half an hour, 1/5 of the total number of balloons in the hot air balloon have blown up. After another hour, twice the number of balloons that had already blown up also blow up. How many balloons in the hot air balloon remain intact?
[Answer]After half an hour, the number of balloons that had blown up is 1 / 5 * 200 = 40. The number of balloons that haven't blown up so far is 200 - 40 = 160. In the next hour, 2 * 40 = 80 balloons blow up. The number of balloons that haven't blown up now is 160 - 80 = 80. The answer is 80.
[Question]Ann is baking cookies. She bakes three dozen oatmeal raisin cookies, two dozen sugar cookies, and four dozen chocolate chip cookies. Ann gives away two dozen oatmeal raisin cookies, 1.5 dozen sugar cookies, and 2.5 dozen chocolate chip cookies. How many total cookies does she keep?
[Answer]
Ann had 3 dozen oatmeal cookies - 2 dozen = 1 dozen oatmeal cookies left. Ann had 2 dozen sugar cookies - 1.5 dozen = .5 dozen sugar cookies left. Ann had 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies - 2.5 dozen = 1.5 dozen chocolate chip cookies left. Ann has a total of 1 + .5 + 1.5 dozen cookies = 3 dozen cookies. 3 dozen cookies is 3 * 12 cookies = 36 cookies remaining. The answer is 36.
