Sasha completes 15 questions / hour * 2 hours = 30 questions. This means there are still 60 questions 30 questions = 30 questions left to complete.
The answer: 30
Reverse engineering the question: Sasha can complete 15 questions an hour. If she has 60 questions to complete and she works for 2 hours, how many questions does she still need to complete?
Reasoning and answer: On the second day, the company paved 4 * 2 - 1 = 7 miles. The company has 16 - 7 - 4 = 5 miles of road remaining to pave. They will need 3 * 5 = 15 truckloads of asphalt to pave 5 miles of road. For 15 truckloads, they will need 15 * 2 = 30 bags of gravel. Thus, the company will need 30 / 5 = 6 barrels of pitch to finish the road on the third day.
The answer: 6
What was the question?
Question: A roadwork company is paving a newly constructed 16-mile road. They use a mixture of pitch and gravel to make the asphalt to pave the road. Each truckloads of asphalt uses two bags of gravel and five times as many bags of gravel as it does barrels of pitch to make. It takes three truckloads of asphalt to pave each mile of road. The company paved 4 miles of road on one day, then one mile less than double that on the second day. How many barrels of pitch will the company need to finish the remaining road on the third day?
George's turtle finished 2 minutes quicker than Greta's so 6 - 2 = 4 minutes to finish. Gloria's turtle took twice as long as George's turtle, who finished in 4 minutes so 2 * 4 = 8 minutes.
The answer: 8
Reverse engineering the question: Greta, George and Gloria entered their turtles in the Key West Turtle Race. Greta's turtle finished the race in 6 minutes. George's turtle finished 2 minutes quicker than Greta's. Gloria's turtle took twice as long as George's turtle. How long did it take Gloria's turtle to finish the race?
Reasoning and answer: It rained 3 + 4 = 7 inches. So he collected 7 * 15 = 105 gallons. So he makes 105 * 1.2 = $126 from selling the water.
The answer: 126

Question: James has a rainwater collection barrel. For each inch of rain he collects 15 gallons. On Monday it rained 4 inches and on Tuesday it rained 3 inches. He can sell water for $1.2 per gallon. How much money did he make from selling all the water?
The Adidas purchase was 1 / 5 that of Skechers, therefore the Skechers cost 5 * 600 = 3000 dollars. Spending three times the cost of Adidas on Nike sneakers translates to 3 * 600 = 1800 dollars. All together, the three athletic - sneaker purchases cost Mimi 600 + 1800 + 3000 = 5400 dollars. Subtracting the amount spent on athletic sneakers from the total spent gives 8000 - 5400 = 2600 dollars. Mimi therefore spent 2600 dollars on clothes.
The answer: 2600
Reverse engineering the question: Mimi has decided to start going to the gym again. Over the weekend, she spent $8,000 on athletic sneakers and clothes. She spent thrice as much on Nike sneakers as she did on Adidas. What she spent on Adidas was 1/5 the cost of Skechers. If Mimi's Adidas sneakers purchase was $600, what amount did she spend on clothes?
First find the length of the conclusion by tripling the length of the introduction: 450 words * 3 = 1350 words. Then subtract the length of the introduction and conclusion from the total length to find the combined length of the body sections: 5000 words - 1350 words - 450 words = 3200 words. Then divide the combined length of the body section by the number of body sections to find the length of each section: 3200 words / 4 sections = 800 words / section.
The answer: 800
Reverse engineering the question:
Carolyn is planning out her final essay. The introduction will be 450 words, the conclusion will be triple the length of the introduction, and each of the four body sections will be the same length. If her essay has to be 5000 words total, how long is each section?
