Reasoning and answer: Lars can bake 10 x 6 = 60 loaves of bread every day. She can also bake 30 x 3 = 90 baguettes every day. Therefore the total bread she can bake is 60 + 90 = 150.
The answer: 150

Question: Lars owns a bakeshop. She can bake 10 loaves of bread within an hour and 30 baguettes every 2 hours. If she bakes 6 hours a day, how many breads does she makes?
The school nurse must check a total of 26 Kindergarteners + 19 first graders + 20 second graders + 25 third graders = 90 students in all. If every check takes 2 minutes, it will take 90 students x 2 minutes = 180 minutes. There are 60 minutes in one hour, so it will take 180 minutes / 60 = 3 hours to complete the checks.
The answer: 3
Reverse engineering the question: The school nurse must conduct lice checks at the elementary school. She must check 26 Kindergarteners, 19 first graders, 20 second graders, and 25 third graders. If each check takes 2 minutes, how many hours will it take the nurse to complete all the checks?
Reasoning and answer: Yanni's mother gave him $0.40 in addition to $0.85 for a total of $0.40 + $0.85 = $1.25. Yanni found $0.50 so he had a total of $1.25 + $0.50 = $1.75. Therefore, Yanni had $1.75 - $1.6 = $0.15 left. 100 cents make $1 so $0.15 is 100 * 0.15 = 15 cents.
The answer: 15

Question: Yanni has $0.85. His mother gave him $0.40 in addition. While going to the mall, Yanni found $0.50. He bought a toy that cost $1.6. How much money in cents did Yanni have left?
The first mission took 5 * .6 = 3 days longer than anticipated. So it took 5 + 3 = 8 days. That means the two missions took 8 + 3 = 11 days.
The answer: 11
Reverse engineering the question: John went on a mission that was supposed to take 5 days. Instead it took 60% longer. He then had to go on a second mission which took 3 days. How long was he on missions?
Reasoning and answer: They made 60 x 2 = 120 cars today. So, the factory made a total of 60 + 120 = 180 cars.
The answer: 180

Question: A toy car factory made 60 cars yesterday. Today, they made twice the number of cars than yesterday. How many toy cars did the factory make?
Reasoning and answer: There are 1 x 60 minutes = 60 minutes in 1 hour. There are 60 / 5 = 12 sets of 5 minutes in 1 hour. So, Jane can fold 3 x 12 = 36 towels in an hour. There are 60 / 10 = 6 sets of 10 minutes in 1 hour. So, Kyla can fold 5 x 6 = 30 towels in an hour. There are 60 / 20 = 3 sets of 20 minutes in 1 hour. So, Anthony can fold 7 x 3 = 21 towels in an hour. Therefore, the 3 of them can fold a total of 36 + 30 + 21 = 87 towels in 1 hour.
The answer: 87
