Question: Ginger likes to make cakes for every holiday for people. She has 2 children, each of whom she bakes a cake for on their birthdays, Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. She has a husband for whom she makes a cake on these same holidays, as well as on their anniversary and Valentine's Day. Lastly, she makes both her parents cakes as well, but only for their birthdays since they live far away. How many cakes does she make in 10 years?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Ginger has 2 children whom she bakes for 4 times a year, for 2 * 4 = 8 cakes. She makes her husband 6 cakes a year. She makes each of her 2 parents a cake for 2 * 1 = 2 cakes. On a yearly basis, she therefore makes 8 + 6 + 2 = 16 cakes. In 10 years, she would make 16 * 10 = 160 cakes.
So the answer is 160.

Question: Mandy is ten years older than Jackson. Adele is 3/4 as old as Jackson. What's the total of their ages 10 years from now If Jackson is 20 years old now?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: In ten years, Jackson will be 20 + 10 = 30 years old. If Jackson is 20 now, Mandy is 20 + 10 = 30 years old. Ten years from now, Mandy will be 30 + 10 = 40 years old. The combined age of Jackson and Mandy ten years from now is 30 + 40 = 70 years. Adele is 3 / 4 times as old as Jackson, meaning she is 3 / 4 * 20 = 15 years old. Adele's age will be 10 + 15 = 25 years old ten years from now. Altogether, Mandy, Jackson, and Adele will have a total of 25 + 70 = 95 years.
So the answer is 95.
