Reasoning & answer: CoT: First find the number of nuts the two busy squirrels gather per day: 2 squirrels * 30 nuts / day / squirrel = 60 nuts / day. Then add the number the sleepy squirrel gathers each day: 60 nuts / day + 20 nuts / day = 80 nuts / day. Then multiply the number of nuts gathered daily by the number of days to find the total number of nuts gathered: 80 nuts / day * 40 days = 3200 nuts.
The answer: 3200
Question: Mason opens the hood of his car and discovers that squirrels have been using his engine compartment to store nuts. If 2 busy squirrels have been stockpiling 30 nuts/day and one sleepy squirrel has been stockpiling 20 nuts/day, all for 40 days, how many nuts are in Mason's car?

Reasoning & answer: CoT: Andy has 6 x 4 = 24 white socks. He loses 24 / 2 = 12 white socks. He still has 12 - 6 = 6 white socks more than black socks.
The answer: 6
Question: Andy has 4 times as many white socks as he has black socks. If he loses half his white socks, how many more white socks does he still have than black socks if he has 6 black socks?

Reasoning & answer: CoT: Let S be the length of the short side of the fence. Thus, the length of a long side of the fence is 3S. There are 2 of each side, so the whole fence is 2S + 2 * 3S = 2S + 6S = 8S long. The whole fence is 8S = 640 feet long. Thus, the short side of the fence that needs to be replaced is S = 640 / 8 = 80 feet long.
The answer: 80
Question: A rectangular plot of private property is fenced in by a chain-link fence. The long sides of the plot are three times the length of the short sides. One short side of the fence is rusted from being hit by a sprinkler and needs to be replaced. If all the sides of the fence together are 640 feet long, how many feet of fence need to be replaced?

Reasoning & answer: CoT: First find the total number of strands the two of them can cut per minute: 8 strands + 3 strands = 11 strands. Then divide the total number of strands by the number of strands they cut per minute to find the number of minutes it takes to cut all the strands: 22 strands / 11 strands / minute = 2 minutes.
The answer: 2
Question:
