Question: Jack goes hunting 6 times a month. The hunting season lasts for 1 quarter of the year. He catches 2 deers each time he goes hunting and they weigh 600 pounds each. He keeps half the weight of deer a year. How much deer does he keep in pounds?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The hunting season last 12 / 4 = 3 months. So he goes hunting 3 * 6 = 18 times a year. That means he gets 18 * 2 = 36 deers per year. So he catches 36 * 600 = 21,600 pounds of deer a year. That means he keeps 21600 / 2 = 10,800 pounds of deer a year.
So the answer is 10800.


Question: Carla is taking attendance for her sixth-grade class. She knows that 2 students are in the restroom, and one less than three times that number of students are absent. If there are four rows with six desks each that are all 2/3 full, how many students does Carla teach, including the ones in and out of the classroom?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: First find the number of absent students: 2 students * 3 - 1 = 5 students. Now find the number of students in each row of desks: 6 desks / row * 2 students / 3 desks = 4 students / row. Now find the number of students in all the rows: 4 rows * 4 students / row = 16 students. Now add the students that are absent or in the bathroom: 16 students + 2 students + 5 students = 23 students.
So the answer is 23.


Question: In a house, there are 16 cats. Two of them are white, and 25% of them are black. The rest of the cats are grey. How many grey cats are in this house?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
In this house, there are 16 * 25 / 100 = 4 black cats. If there are two white cats, that means that there are 16 - 4 - 2 = 10 grey cats in this house.
So the answer is 10.
