Reasoning and answer: They spend 15 minutes / trip + 30 minutes / trip = 45 minutes / trip filling the car and driving to the new house. They had to take 6 trips, so they spend 45 minutes / trip x 6 / trip = 270 minutes. They also had to drive back to their previous house 5 times to complete the move: 30 minutes / trip x 5 trips = 150 minutes. In total, they spent 270 minutes + 150 minutes = 420 minutes. Each hour has 60 minutes so they spent 420 minutes ÷ 60 minutes / hour = 7 hours in total.
The answer: 7

Reasoning and answer: Kara drinks 4 * 3 = 12 ounces of water with her medication each day. In a week, she drinks 12 * 7 = 84 ounces of water with her medication. In two weeks, she drinks 84 * 2 = 168 ounces of water with her medication. One day, she forgot two tablets, so she did not drink 2 * 4 = 8 ounces of water. Thus, Kara drank 168 - 8 = 160 ounces of water with her medication over two weeks.
The answer: 160

Reasoning and answer: If it takes Emma 20 hours to run all around the two arenas, it takes Fernando 2 * 20 = 40 hours to run the same distance. Together, they take a total of 40 + 20 = 60 hours to run all around the arenas.
The answer: 60
