Question: Every Sunday John is allowed to watch cartoons. However, for every 10 minutes of cartoons, he has to do 8 minutes of chores. If he watches cartoons for 2 hours, how many minutes of chores does he have to do?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: He watched for 120 minutes because 2 x 60 = 120. This means 12 blocks of chores must be done because 120 / 10 = 12. He has to do 96 minutes of chores because 12 x 8 = 96.
So the answer is 96.

Question: John has just turned 39. 3 years ago, he was twice as old as James will be in 6 years. If James' older brother is 4 years older than James, how old is James' older brother?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: John was 39 - 3 = 36 years old 3 years ago. So that means in 6 years James will be 36 / 2 = 18 years old. So right now James is 18 - 6 = 12 years old. So James's older brother is 12 + 4 = 16 years old.
So the answer is 16.

Question: There are 80 men in a race. 1/4 of the men tripped and were unable to finish. 2/3 of the remaining men were dehydrated and 1/5 of those dehydrated men couldn't finish the race. How many men finished the race?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: 1 / 4 of 80 men is 80 / 4 = 20 men. 20 men couldn't finish, so 80 - 20 = 60 men remain. 60 * 2 / 3 = 40 men were dehydrated. 1 / 5 of the dehydrated couldn't finish 40 * 1 / 5 = 8 men. 60 - 8 = 52 men finished the race.
So the answer is 52.

Question: Kiki made 10 cucumber sandwiches and 8 egg sandwiches for the tea party. Each cucumber sandwich was cut into 4 triangles. Each egg sandwich was cut into 2 rectangles. If her guests ate 28 triangles and 12 rectangles, how many slices of bread did they eat?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: The guests ate 28 / 4 = 7 cucumber sandwiches. The guests ate 12 / 2 = 6 egg sandwiches. They ate a total of 7 + 6 = 13 sandwiches. They ate a total of 13 x 2 = 26 slices of bread.
So the answer is 26.
