Question: Mark bought 2 pounds of tomatoes for $5 per pound and 5 pounds of apples, at $6 per pound. How much did he spend in total?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Mark bought 2 pounds of tomatoes for $5 / pound * 2 pounds = $10. Mark bought 5 pounds of apples for $6 / pound * 5 pounds = $30. Now add those two quantities to find Mark's total spending: $30 + $10 = $40.
So the answer is 40.

Question: Colin can skip at six times the speed that Brandon can. Brandon can skip at one-third the speed that Tony can. And Tony can skip at twice the speed that Bruce can. At what speed, in miles per hour, can Colin skip if Bruce skips at 1 mile per hour?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Tony can skip at twice the speed that Bruce can, for a speed of 1 * 2 = 2 miles per hour. Brandon can skip at one - third the speed that Tony can, for a speed of 2 * (1 / 3) = 2 / 3 miles per hour. Colin can skip at six times the speed that Brandon can, for a speed of (2 / 3 * 6 = 4 miles per hour).
So the answer is 4.

Question: Rene has three times as many dolls as her sister, while her sister has two more dolls than their grandmother. If their grandmother has 50 dolls, how many dolls do they have altogether?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If the grandmother has 50 dolls, Rene's sister, who has 2 more dolls than their grandmother, has 50 + 2 = 52 dolls. Together, Rene's sister and the grandmother have 52 + 50 = 102 dolls. Since Rene has three times as many dolls as her sister, she has 52 * 3 = 156 dolls. Altogether, they have 156 + 102 = 258 dolls.
So the answer is 258.

Question: There were 90 people at the summer picnic. There were 50 soda cans, 50 plastic bottles of sparkling water, and 50 glass bottles of juice. One-half of the guests drank soda, one-third of the guests drank sparkling water, and four-fifths of the juices were consumed. How many recyclable cans and bottles were collected?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: The soda cans were consumed by 90 / 2 = 45 guests. The sparkling water was consumed by 90 / 3 = 30 guests. The juice bottles were consumed by 4 / 5 x 50 = 40 guests. In total there are 45 + 30 + 40 = 115 recyclable cans and bottles.
So the answer is 115.
