Answer this question:Jack goes hunting 6 times a month. The hunting season lasts for 1 quarter of the year. He catches 2 deers each time he goes hunting and they weigh 600 pounds each. He keeps half the weight of deer a year. How much deer does he keep in pounds?
The hunting season last 12 / 4 = 3 months. So he goes hunting 3 * 6 = 18 times a year. That means he gets 18 * 2 = 36 deers per year. So he catches 36 * 600 = 21,600 pounds of deer a year. That means he keeps 21600 / 2 = 10,800 pounds of deer a year.
The answer is 10800.

Answer this question:Tina made a large pan of brownies and cut it into 24 pieces. She had one with lunch and dinner every day for 5 days. Her husband snagged one per day for 5 days to take to work. They shared 4 with dinner guests. How many brownies were left?
