[Question]The Franzia wine is three times as old as the Carlo Rosi, while the Carlo Rosi is four times older than the Twin Valley. Calculate the total age of the three brands of wine if the Carlo Rosi is 40 years old.
[Answer]If the Franzia wine brand is three times as old as the Carlo Rosi, then the Carlo Rosi is 3 * 40 = 120 years old. The total number of years the Carlo Rosi and the Franzia wine brands have been around is 120 + 40 = 160 years. The Carlo Rosi is four times older than the Twin Valley wine brand, meaning the Twin valley wine brand is 40 / 4 = 10 years old. Together, the three bands have a total of 10 + 160 = 170 years of existence. The answer is 170.
Q: Jeanette is practicing her juggling. Each week she can juggle 2 more objects than the week before. If she starts out juggling 3 objects and practices for 5 weeks, how many objects can she juggle?
A: First find the total number of additional objects she learns to juggle: 2 objects / week * 5 weeks = 10 objects. Then add the initial number of objects she could juggle to find the total: 10 objects + 3 objects = 13 objects. The answer is 13.

[Question]Eustace is twice as old as Milford. In 3 years, he will be 39. How old will Milford be?
[Answer]Eustace’s current age must be 39 years old – 3 years = 36 years old. So Milford’s current age must be 36 years old / 2 = 18 years old. So in 3 years, Milford will be 18 years old + 3 years = 21 years old. The answer is 21.
Q: A singer is planning on releasing 3 songs in a month. If he worked on one song for 10 hours a day, and each song took 10 days to be completed, calculate the total number of hours he took to complete the 3 songs.
A: If he worked on a song for 10 hours a day, the total number of hours he takes to complete one song is 10 * 10 = 100 hours. If one song took 100 hours to complete, the total number of hours the three songs took to be completed is 3 * 100 = 300 hours. The answer is 300.
Question: Susie has 572 beans in the jar. One-fourth of them are red and one-third of the remaining beans are white. Then half of the remaining are green beans. How many green beans are there?
Answer:
Susie has 572 x 1 / 4 = 143 red beans. There were 572 - 143 = 429 beans that are not red. There are 429 x 1 / 3 = 143 white beans. So, there were 429 - 143 = 286 beans left. Therefore, 286 / 2 = 143 beans are green. The answer is 143.
