Question: Parker and Richie split a sum of money in the ratio 2:3. If Parker got $50 (which is the smaller share), how much did they share?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If Parker got $50 with a ratio of 2, then the unit share is $50 / 2 = $25. Using the sharing ratio, Richie gets 3 unit shares which total to 3 * $25 = $75. The money they shared was $50 + $75 = $125.
So the answer is 125.

Question: Maurice had only been horseback riding a handful of times in his life. His best friend, Matt, goes horseback riding regularly. When Maurice went to visit Matt for two weeks, he rode another 8 times. Each time, Matt went with him. Meanwhile, besides the times that Matt accompanied Maurice, he rode an additional 16 times. If the total number of times Matt rode during that two weeks is three times the number of times Maurice had ridden before his visit, how many times had Maurice been horseback riding before visiting Matt?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: During the two weeks, Matt rode a total of 16 times + 8 times = 24 times. Before his visit, Maurice had ridden 24 times / 3 = 8 times.
So the answer is 8.

Question: John wants to finish a show in 5 days. There are 20 episodes and they are each 30 minutes long. How many hours does he have to watch a day?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: He wants to watch 20 * 30 = 600 minutes. So he needs to watch 600 / 60 = 10 hours. That means he needs to watch 10 / 5 = 2 hours a day.
So the answer is 2.

Question: Your video streaming subscription costs $14 a month. If you're evenly splitting the cost with your friend, how much do you pay in total after the first year for this service?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: An even split is 50%. If the monthly subscription is $14, but I pay only 50% that means I pay every month $14 * 50% = $7. We know that in 1 year there are 12 months. Therefore if each month I pay $7, in 12 months I'd pay $7 * 12 = $84.
So the answer is 84.
