[Question]There are 480 zombies in the shopping mall. If the number of zombies doubled every day, how many days ago were there less than 50 zombies in the mall?
[Answer]First find how many zombies there were one day ago: 480 zombies / 2 = 240 zombies. Then find how many zombies there were two days ago: 240 zombies / 2 = 120 zombies. Then find the number of zombies there were three days ago: 120 zombies / 2 = 60 zombies. Then find the number of zombies there were four days ago: 60 zombies / 2 = 30 zombies, which is less than 50, so there were less than 50 zombies 4 days ago. The answer is 4.

Q: After complaints from the residents of Tatoosh about the number of cats on the island, the wildlife service carried out a relocation mission that saw the number of cats on the island drastically reduced. On the first relocation mission, 600 cats were relocated from the island to a neighboring island. On the second mission, half of the remaining cats were relocated to a rescue center inland. If the number of cats originally on the island was 1800, how many cats remained on the island after the rescue mission?
A:
After the first mission, the number of cats remaining on the island was 1800 - 600 = 1200. If half of the remaining cats on the island were relocated to a rescue center inland, the number of cats taken by the wildlife service on the second mission is 1200 / 2 = 600 cats. The number of cats remaining on the island is 1200 - 600 = 600. The answer is 600.
