Question: Apollo pulls the sun across the sky every night. Once a month, his fiery chariot’s wheels need to be replaced. He trades golden apples to Hephaestus the blacksmith to get Hephaestus to make him new wheels. Hephaestus raised his rates halfway through the year and now demands twice as many golden apples as before. He charged three golden apples for the first six months. How many golden apples does Apollo have to pay for the entire year of chariot wheels?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Apollo had to pay 3 * 6 = 18 golden apples for the first six months. For the second six months, he had to pay twice that amount, or 18 * 2 = 36 golden apples. Thus, Apollo had to pay 18 + 36 = 54 golden apples for a year of chariot wheels.
So the answer is 54.

Question: Jazel has 3 sticks. One stick is 3 centimeters long. The second stick is twice as long while the third stick is 1 centimeter shorter than the second stick. What is the total length of Jazel's sticks when they are put together?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The second stick is 3 x 2 = 6 centimeters long. The third stick is 6 - 1 = 5 centimeters long. Thus, Jazel's sticks are 3 + 6 + 5 = 14 centimeters long when they are put together.
So the answer is 14.

Question: Marissa's sunflower is 21 inches taller than her little sister. If her sister is 4 feet 3 inches tall, how tall is Marissa's sunflower in feet?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, then 4 feet is equal to 4 x 12 = 48 inches. So, Marissa's sister is 48 + 3 = 51 inches tall. The sunflower is 51 + 21 = 72 inches tall. Therefore, the sunflower is 72 / 12 = 6 feet tall.
So the answer is 6.

Question: John uses 5 liters of fuel per km to travel. How many liters of fuel should John plan to use if he plans to travel on two trips of 30 km and 20 km?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: The first trip will use 30 * 5 = 150 liters of fuel. The second trip will use 20 * 5 = 100 liters of fuel. The total liters of fuel are 150 + 100 = 250 liters.
So the answer is 250.
