Reasoning and answer: Since a dozen is equal to 12, then Jason bought 12 x 4 = 48 cupcakes. So, Jason has 48 / 3 = 16 cousins.
The answer: 16

Question: Jason bought 4 dozen cupcakes. He plans to give 3 cupcakes each to his cousins. How many cousins does Jason have?
First convert the number of farthings Gerald has to pfennigs by dividing by the exchange rate: 54 farthings / 6 farthings / pfennig = 9 pfennigs. Then subtract the cost of the meat pie to find how many pfennigs Gerald has left: 9 pfennigs - 2 pfennigs = 7 pfennigs.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: Gerald wants to buy a meat pie that costs 2 pfennigs. Gerald has 54 farthings, and there are 6 farthings to a pfennig. How many pfennigs will Gerald have left after buying the pie?
Reasoning and answer: First find the total number of items Carla needs to find by adding the number of leaves to the number of bugs: 30 leaves + 20 bugs = 50 items. Now divide the total number of items by the number of days Carla has to do her assignment to find the daily collection amount: 50 items / 10 days = 5 items / day.
The answer: 5

Question: Carla's teacher tells her that she needs to collect 30 leaves and 20 bugs for a project that's due in 10 days. How many items does Carla need to collect each day if she always wants to collect the same daily amount?
He covers 4km / hr * 4hrs = 16km in the first 4 hours. He has 24 - 16 = 8km left to cover. He has 8 - 4 = 4 hours to cover the remaining 8km. He has to travel at a speed of 8km / 4hrs = 2km / hr to be right on time.
The answer: 2
Reverse engineering the question: A man intends to complete a journey of 24 km in 8 hours. If he travels at a speed of 4km/hr for the first four hours, at what speed does he need to travel for the remainder of the journey to be right on time?
Reasoning and answer: Their total age is 15 because 3 x 5 = 15. 15 - X - 2X - (X - 1) is equivalent to 16 = 4X. Maiya is 4 years old because 16 / 4 = 4.
The answer: 4

Question: Maiya has two sisters. The first sister is twice as old as Maiya. The first sister is 1 year younger than Maiya. Their average age is 5. How old is Maiya?
Reasoning and answer: If Keaton climbed his ladder twenty times, he covered a length of 30 * 20 = 600 feet. Reece's ladder, 4 feet shorter than Keaton's ladder, was 30 - 4 = 26 feet long. If Reece climbed the ladder 15 times, he covered a length of 15 * 26 = 390 feet. Keaton and Reece's total length covered while climbing the ladders is 390 + 600 = 990 feet. Since one foot is equal to 12 inches, the total length they climbed the ladders in inches is 12 * 990 = 11880 inches.
The answer: 11880
