Question: Phillip wants to make pickles with the supplies he finds at home. He has 4 jars, 10 cucumbers, and 100 oz of vinegar. Each cucumber makes six pickles. Each jar can hold 12 pickles. It takes 10 ounces of vinegar per jar of pickles. When he is all done making as many pickles as he has supplies for, how many ounces of vinegar are left?
Answer: The jars allow him to make 48 pickles because 4 x 12 = 48. The cucumbers allow him to make 60 pickles because 10 x 6 = 60. The vinegar allows him to make 10 jars of pickles because 100 / 10 = 10. The vinegar is enough to make 60 pickles because 10 x 6 = 60. He can make 48 pickles because 48 < 60. He needs 4 jars to make this because 48 / 12 = 4. He needs 40 ounces of vinegar because 4 x 10 = 40. He has 60 ounces remaining because 100 - 40 = 60. The answer is 60.
[Question]A 4th grade class with 20 students and 3 teachers is going to a science museum. The entrance ticket costs $5 each. How much will they pay for the entrance tickets?

Q: Mark bought 2 pounds of tomatoes for $5 per pound and 5 pounds of apples, at $6 per pound. How much did he spend in total?
A: Mark bought 2 pounds of tomatoes for $5 / pound * 2 pounds = $10. Mark bought 5 pounds of apples for $6 / pound * 5 pounds = $30. Now add those two quantities to find Mark's total spending: $30 + $10 = $40. The answer is 40.
Question: Charlotte is making a pie. She can't decide if she will make cherry or blueberry. So she decides to make whichever pie is cheapest. Both pies will need $2 for flour, $1 for sugar and $1.5 for eggs and butter to make the crust. The blueberry pie needs 3 pounds of blueberries. The blueberries come in 8 oz containers for $2.25. For the cherry pie, she needs 4 pounds and they come in a four-pound bag for $14. What is the total price to make the cheapest pie?
Answer: The crust will cost $4.5 because 2 + 1 + 1.5 = 4.5. She will need 6 containers for blueberries because 3 x (8 / 16) = 6. The blueberries will cost $13.5 because 6 x 2.25 = 13.5. The blueberries are cheaper because 13.5 < 14. The blueberry pie will cost $18 to make because 4.5 + 13.5 = 18. The answer is 18.
[Question]Candace is trying to decide whether to wear her old shoes or new high-tech shoes for a hike. The high-tech shoes will help Candace walk twice as fast, but they're not broken in yet, so she'll get 1 blister after every 2 hours she spends walking in them. Each blister slows Candance down by 2 miles per hour. If Candance walks 6 miles per hour in the old shoes and plans to hike for 4 hours, how many miles per hour can she go in the new shoes?
[Answer]Wearing the high - tech shoes, Candace can hike 6 mph * 2 = 12 mph for the first two hours. Then she gets one blister, so her speed drops to 12 mph - 2 mph = 10 mph for the next two hours of the hike. After that time Candace gets another blister, but 2 hours + 2 hours = 4 hours, so the hike is over and we don't care about her speed anymore. Candace spends an equal amount of time walking at 12 mph and 10 mph, so we can average the two speeds to find an overall speed of (12 mph + 10 mph) / 2 = 11 mph. The answer is 11.
[Question]Adam has three more than twice as many tattoos as Jason has. If Jason has two tattoos on each of his arms and three tattoos on each of his legs, how many tattoos does Adam have?
[Answer]
2 tattoos on each arm is a total of 2 * 2 = 4 tattoos. 3 tattoos on each leg is a total of 2 * 3 = 6 tattoos. Thus, Jason has 4 + 6 = 10 tattoos. Twice the number of tattoos that Jason has is 2 * 10 = 20 tattoos. Adam has 3 more than twice the number Jason has, or 3 + 20 = 23 tattoos. The answer is 23.
