Question: Gabby planted a watermelon vine, a peach tree, and two plum trees in the spring. Over the summer, the plants grew and produced fruit. She only got one watermelon to grow, but she got twelve more peaches than that, and three times that number of plums. How many pieces of fruit did Gabby get to pick that summer?
Answer: Gabby's peach tree grew 12 + 1 = 13 peaches. Her plum trees grew 13 * 3 = 39 plums. Thus, Gabby got 1 + 13 + 39 = 53 pieces of fruit to pick. The answer is 53.

Q: Erika and her 3 siblings are drawing with chalk outside. Another 3 friends join them and ask if they can help with the drawing. Erika loses 2 pieces of chalk as they are counting and the group realizes there isn't enough chalk for everyone. Erika's mom brings out another 12 pieces of chalk for them to share and there is now enough chalk for everyone to have 3 pieces each. How many pieces of chalk did Erika and her siblings originally have?
A: Altogether, there are 1 Erika + 3 siblings + 3 friends = 7 people drawing outside. The group has a total of 7 people * 3 pieces of chalk each = 21 pieces of chalk altogether. Before Erika's mom helped, they had 21 total pieces of chalk - 12 pieces of chalk Erika's mom brought = 9 pieces of chalk. Then adding the chalk that Erika lost shows that the group originally had 9 pieces of chalk + 2 lost pieces of chalk = 11 pieces of chalk. The answer is 11.
Question: A hot dog stand sells 10 hot dogs every hour, each one selling for $2. How many hours does the stand need to run to make $200 in sales?
Answer: First, we find out how much in sales the stand makes each hour by multiplying the number of hot dogs sold by the sales price, finding that 2 * 10 = 20 dollars in sales each hour. Then we divide the sales goal for the day by the sales per hour, finding that the stand needs to be open for 200 / 20 = 10 hours to hit its sales goal. The answer is 10.
Q: Jane's goal is to exercise 1 hour a day, 5 days a week. If she hits her goal weekly for 8 weeks, how many hours has Jane exercised?
