Question: Eden's mom is twice as old as Eden, who is twice as old as Devin. If Devin is 12 years old, what's the average age of the three?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If Devin is 12 years old, then Eden is 2 * 12 years = 24 years old. Since Eden's mom two times older than Eden, her age is 24 years * 2 = 48 years. In total, they have 48 years + 24 years + 12 years = 84 years. The average age for the three is 84 years / 3 people = 28 years / person.
So the answer is 28.

Question: Nori had 4 boxes of crayons with 8 crayons in each box. She gave 5 crayons to Mae and also give some crayons to Lea. How many more crayons did she give to Lea than Mae if she has only 15 crayons left?

So the answer is 7.
