[Question]Chris has twelve marbles, and Ryan has twenty-eight marbles. If they put marbles together in a pile and then each takes away 1/4 of marbles from the pile, calculate the number of marbles remaining in the pile.
[Answer]If Chris and Ryan put together their marbles in a pile, the pile will have 12 + 28 = 40 marbles. If they then take 1 / 4 of the marbles each, every person will receive 1 / 4 * 40 = 10 marbles. Both of them will have taken a total of 10 + 10 = 20 marbles. The number of marbles remaining in the pile is 40 - 20 = 20. The answer is 20.

Question: Dikembe wants to teach everyone at school about the importance of flossing, so he plans to bring enough packets of floss for everyone. There are 20 students in his class. Each student needs 1.5 yards of floss. He sees in the store that each packet of floss contains 35 yards. If he buys the least amount necessary, how much floss is left over?
Answer: He will need to bring 30 yards of floss because 20 x 1.5 = 30. One packet of floss is enough because 35 > 30. He has 5 yards left over because 35 - 30 = 5. The answer is 5.
[Question]Benjamin is tracking how many miles he walks in a week. He walks to work and home five days a week, walks his dog twice a day every day, walks to his best friend's house once a week, and walks to the convenience store twice a week. Work is six miles away, dog walks are two miles, his best friend's house is one mile, and the convenience store is three miles. How many miles does Benjamin walk in a week?
[Answer]Benjamin walks 6 miles to work and 6 miles home, so he walks 6 * 2 = 12 miles to work and home. He walks to work 5 days a week, so he walks 12 * 5 = 60 miles to work and home a week. He walks his dog 2 times a day for 2 miles, so he walks 2 * 2 = 4 miles a day for his dog. He walks his dog 7 days a week, so he walks 4 * 7 = 28 miles for his dog. He walks 3 miles to the store 2 times a week, so he walks 2 * 3 = 6 miles to the store each week. Adding his weekly 1 mile to his friend's house, Benjamin walks 60 + 28 + 6 + 1 = 95 miles in a week. The answer is 95.
[Question]Archibald eats 1 apple a day for two weeks. Over the next three weeks, he eats the same number of apples as the total of the first two weeks. Over the next two weeks, he eats 3 apples a day. Over these 7 weeks, how many apples does he average a week?
[Answer]
He ate 14 apples the first two weeks because 14 x 1 = 14. He ate 14 apples in the next three weeks because 14 = 14. He ate 42 apples in the final two weeks because 14 x 3 = 42. He ate 70 apples in total. He averaged 10 apples a week because 70 / 7 = 10. The answer is 10.
