Q: The difference between the number of boys and girls in a tree planting event is 400. If there are 600 boys at the event, and the number of girls is more than the number of boys, what's 60% of the total number of boys and girls at the event?
A: 960
Step-by-step reasoning process: If there are 600 boys at the event, and the difference between boys and girls is 400, there are 600 + 400 = 1000 girls. The total number of boys and girls at the event is 1000 + 600 = 1600. 60% of the total number of boys and girls at the event is 60 / 100 * 1600 = 960.


Q: It takes Jason 30 minutes to cut 1 lawn in his neighborhood. If he cuts 8 yards on both Saturday and Sunday, how many hours does he spend cutting grass?
A: 8
Step-by-step reasoning process: He cuts 8 yards on both Saturday and Sunday so that’s 2 * 8 = 16 yards. It takes him 30 minutes to cut 1 yard so it takes him 30 * 16 = 480 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour and it takes him 480 minutes so that’s a total of 480 / 60 = 8 hours.


Q: Three adults whose average weight is 140 pounds went first in the elevator. Two children whose average weight is 64 pounds also went inside. If an elevator sign reads “Maximum weight 600 pounds.", what is the maximum weight of the next person to get in the elevator so that it will not be overloaded?
A: 52
Step-by-step reasoning process: The sum of the weights of the three adults is 140 x 3 = 420 pounds. The sum of the weight of the two children is 64 x 2 = 128 pounds. So the total weight of the 5 people who are in the elevator is 420 + 128 = 548 pounds. This would mean that the next person's weight must not exceed 600 - 548 = 52 pounds.


Q: Maisie and Donna dropped off flyers for a neighborhood clean-up day at houses around their neighborhood. Maisie walked down the shorter left street and dropped off 33 flyers. Donna took the long right street on her bicycle and dropped off five more than twice as many flyers as Maisie. How many flyers did Donna drop off?
A: 71
Step-by-step reasoning process: Twice as many flyers as Maisie is 33 * 2 = 66 flyers. Donna dropped off five more than that, so she dropped off 66 + 5 = 71 flyers.
