Walter's daily earning is $5 x 4 = $20. So he earns $20 x 5 = $100 per week. Therefore, he allocates $100 x 3 / 4 = $75 for his school.
The answer: 75
Reverse engineering the question: Walter works 5 days a week in a fast-food chain and earns $5 per hour. Since he is a working student, he can only work 4 hours a day and allocates 3/4 of his weekly earning for his schooling. How much does he allocate for school?
Reasoning and answer: He has enough milk for 20 glasses of chocolate milk because 130 / 6.5 = 20. He has enough syrup for 40 glasses of chocolate milk because 60 / 1.5 = 40. He can make 20 glasses of chocolate milk because 20 < 40. He will drink 160 ounces of chocolate milk because 20 x 8 = 160.
The answer: 160
What was the question?
Question: Charles is wondering how much chocolate milk he can make with all the supplies he finds in the fridge. He is going to keep drinking 8-ounce glasses until he uses up all the ingredients. Each glass must contain 6.5 ounces of milk and 1.5 ounces of chocolate syrup. If he has 130 ounces of milk and 60 ounces of chocolate syrup, how many total ounces ounce of chocolate milk will he drink?
The time it took Manu to complete the race is 60 + 12 = 72 seconds. If Amy is twice as fast as Manu, then she takes half the time Manu did to finish the race, so Amy took 1 / 2 * 72 = 36 seconds.
The answer: 36
Reverse engineering the question: When Patrick, Manu, and Amy participate in a race they realize that Patrick finishes the race in 60 seconds. Manu took 12 more seconds to finish the race. If Amy is twice as fast as Manu, how long did it take her to finish the race?
Reasoning and answer: Lanie was only able to work for 40 * 4 / 5 = 32 hours in that week. Thus, her salary was 15 * 32 = $480.
The answer: 480
What was the question?
Question: Lanie has been sick and was only able to work 4/5 of her usual 40-hour week. If her hourly rate is $15, how much was her salary for that week?
First find the total number of milliliters in the bottle: 2 liters * 1000 ml / liter = 2000 ml. Then divide the total number of milliliters by the amount she drinks per sip: 2000 ml / 40 ml = 50 sips. Then multiply the number of sips by the time per sip to find the time it takes her to drink the bottle: 50 sips * 5 minutes / sip = 250 minutes.
The answer: 250
Reverse engineering the question: Marcy keeps a 2-liter bottle of water by her desk. She takes a sip every five minutes, and each sip is 40 ml. How many minutes does it take her to drink the whole bottle of water?
Paige has 100 space stickers that she is dividing among 3 friends, so 100 stickers / 3 friends = 33 stickers for each friend, with 1 remaining. She also has 50 cat stickers that she is diving among 3 friends, so 50 stickers / 3 friends = 16 stickers for each friend, with 2 remaining. So Paige will have 1 remaining space sticker + 2 remaining cat stickers = 3 stickers left.
The answer: 3
Reverse engineering the question:
Paige bought some new stickers and wanted to share them with 3 of her friends. She decided to share a sheet of 100 space stickers and a sheet of 50 cat stickers equally among her 3 friends. How many stickers will she have left?
