In spring, a family planted trees to capture the sun. They planted 3 times as many peaches as apricots. If 58 apricot trees were planted, how many trees were planted in total? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The number of peaches planted is three times the number of apricots which is 3 * 58 = 174. In total, the family planted 174 + 58 = 232 trees.. The answer is: 232.

Bella, Monica, and Rachel are friends who like jewelry. Bella has 10 earrings, which is 25% of Monica's earrings, and Monica has twice as many earrings as Rachel. How many earrings do all of the friends have? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Bellas has 100% / 25% = 4 times less earrings than Monica. This means that Monica has 10 * 4 = 40 earrings. Rachel has two times fewer earrings than Monica, which means 40 / 2 = 20 earrings. So all three friends, have a total of 10 + 40 + 20 = 70 earrings.. The answer is: 70.

Matt's entire family was going to spend the week at the lake house for vacation. Matt's family included his mom, dad, his older brother and his wife and their 4 kids. His Uncle Joe and his wife were also coming and would bring their 3 kids. The house only sleeps 4 people. Everyone else would sleep 2 to a tent outside. How many tents would they need? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. We need to add Matt's entire family together so 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 14. Only 4 people could sleep in the house so 14 - 4 = 10 people would sleep in a tent. Each tent sleeps 2 people and there were 10 people left so 10 / 2 = 5 tents were needed.. The answer is: 5.
