[Question]Darius has 5 buckets of water. One contains 11 ounces, one contains 13 ounces, one contains 12 ounces, one contains 16 ounces, and one contains 10 ounces. He pours the ten-ounce bucket into a bigger bucket, along with one of the other four. The total in the bigger bucket is now 23 ounces. He pours the remaining three buckets into a second large bucket. How many ounces does the second large bucket contain?
[Answer]Darius poured the 13 - ounce bucket into the first large bucket because 23 - 10 = 13. The remaining buckets are thus the 11, 12, and 16 ounce buckets. The second large bucket contains 39 ounces because 11 + 12 + 16 = 39. The answer is 39.

[Question]Chloe bought chocolate-dipped strawberries at $50 a dozen. She then sold them for $30 for half a dozen during the Mother's Day celebration. How much is Chloe's profit if she sold 50 dozens?
[Answer]If Chloe bought it for $50 per dozen, then half a dozen cost her $50 / 2 = $25. This means that she has $30 - $25 = $5 profit per half a dozen of chocolate - dipped strawberries. If Chloe sold 50 dozens, then she was able to sell 50 / 1 / 2 = 100 half a dozen chocolate - dipped strawberries. Hence, her profit is $5 x 100 = $500. The answer is 500.

[Question]Jason drives past 3 convenience stores on his way to work. The distance between the first store and the second store is 6 miles. The distance between the second store and third store is 2/3rds longer than the distance between the first two stores. The distance from his house to the first store and the last store to work is the same, 4 miles. How long in miles is Jason's commute to work?
[Answer]
First find the additional distance between the second store and the third store: 6 miles * 2 / 3 = 4 miles. Then add that to the distance between the first two stores to find the total distance between the second and third stores: 4 miles + 6 miles = 10 miles. Then add the distance between the first two stores, the distance from Jason's house to the first store, and the distance from the last store to work: 10 miles + 6 miles + 4 miles + 4 miles = 24 miles. The answer is 24.
