Question: Bert fills out the daily crossword puzzle in the newspaper every day. He uses up a pencil to fill out the puzzles every two weeks. On average, it takes him 1050 words to use up a pencil. How many words are in each crossword puzzle on average?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: At 7 days a week, it takes Bert 2 * 7 = 14 days of daily crossword puzzles to use up a pencil. Since Bert does one puzzle a day, each crossword puzzle has 1050 / 14 = 75 words.
So the answer is 75.

Question: Earl has $90; Fred has $48; Greg has $36. Earl owes Fred $28. Fred owes Greg $32. Greg owes Earl $40. When all debts are paid, how much will Greg and Earl have together in dollars?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Earl will have $90 - $28 = $62 after paying off his debt to Fred. Fred will have $48 + $28 = $76 after being paid by Earl. But then Fred will have $76 - $32 = $44 after paying Greg. Greg will have $36 + $32 = $68 after Fred paid him. Then, Greg will have $68 - $40 = $28 after paying off his debt to Earl. Then, Earl will then have $62 + $40 = $102. So together, Greg and Earl will have $28 + $102 = $130.
So the answer is 130.

Question: Tamika drove for 8 hours at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. Logan drove for 5 hours at 55 miles an hour. How many miles farther did Tamika drive?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Tamika drove 8 hours * 45 mph = 360 miles. Logan drove 5 hours * 55 mph = 275 miles. 360 - 275 = 85 miles. Tamika drove 85 miles farther.
So the answer is 85.
