Question: Robby doesn't like the color brown and will not eat the brown M&M's. On his first bag, he sets aside 9 brown M&M's. On the second bag, he sets aside 12. On his third & fourth bag, there are 8 brown M&M's that he doesn't eat. On his fifth bag, there are only 3 brown M&M's that he doesn't eat. What's the average number of brown M&M's in a bag?
Answer: Out of 5 bags, he had 9 + 12 + 8 + 8 + 3 = 40 brown M&M's. He ate 5 bags so the average number of brown M&M's per bag was 40 / 5 = 8 brown M&M's. The answer is 8.
[Question]Karen and Donald and their 6 children are sharing a beach house with Tom and Eva and their 4 children. If there are 16 legs in the pool, how many people are not in the pool?
[Answer]Karen and Donald and their 6 children are a party of 1 + 1 + 6 = 8 people. Tom and Evan and their 4 children are a party of 1 + 1 + 4 = 6 people. All total, there are 8 + 6 = 14 people at the beach house. There are 16 legs in the pool and everyone has 2 legs so there are 16 / 2 = 8 people in the pool. There are 14 people total at the beach house and 8 people are in the pool so 14 - 8 = 6 people are not in the pool. The answer is 6.
Q: What is the average age of the 1st and 5th fastest dogs if the 1st fastest dog is 10 years old, the 2nd fastest dog is 2 years younger than the first fastest dog, the 3rd fastest dog is 4 years older than the 2nd fastest dog, the 4th fastest dog is half the age of the 3rd fastest dog, and the 5th fastest dog is 20 years older than the 4th fastest dog?
A: If the 1st fastest dog is 10 years old, and the 2nd fastest dog is 2 years younger than the first fastest dog, the 2nd fastest dog is 10 - 2 = 8 years old. The 3rd fastest dog being 4 years older than the 2nd fastest dog, is 8 + 4 = 12 years old. The 4th fastest dog is half the age of the 3rd fastest dog, meaning the 4th fastest dog is 1 / 2 * 12 = 6 years old. The 5th fastest dog is 20 years older than the 4th fastest dog, meaning the 5th fastest dog is 6 + 20 = 26 years old. The total age of the 1st and 5th fastest dogs is 26 + 10 = 36 years. The average age of the 1st and 5th fastest dogs is 36 / 2 = 18 years old. The answer is 18.
Question: In 2004, there were some kids at a cookout. In 2005, half the number of kids came to the cookout as compared to 2004. In 2006, 2/3 as many kids came to the cookout as in 2005. If there were 20 kids at the cookout in 2006, how many kids came to the cookout in 2004?
Answer: In 2005, 20 / 2 * 3 = 30 kids came to the cookout. In 2004, 30 * 2 = 60 kids came to the cookout. The answer is 60.
