Question: Gavin has had 4 dreams every day for a year now. If he had twice as many dreams last year as he had this year, calculate the total number of dreams he's had in the two years.
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Since a year has 365 days, if Gavin has been having 4 dreams every day for a year now, he has had 4 * 365 = 1460 dreams this year. Gavin had twice as many dreams last as he had this year, meaning he had 2 * 1460 = 2920 dreams last year. The total number of dreams he has had in the two years is 2920 + 1460 = 4380 dreams.
So the answer is 4380.

Question: Barbie enjoys buying jewelry. One day, she bought 12 pairs of earrings, and gave half of them to Alissa, making Alissa's total number of collections to be triple the number of earrings she was given. How many earrings does Alissa have now?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If 1 pair of earrings equals 2 earrings, then Barbie bought 12 * 2 = 24 earrings. Half of 24 earrings is 24 / 2 = 12 earrings. If receiving 12 earrings tripled Alissa's collection, then she now has 12 * 3 = 36 earrings.
So the answer is 36.

Question: Suraya picked 12 apples more than Caleb, and Caleb picked 5 apples less than Kayla. If Kayla picked 20 apples, how many more apples did Suraya pick than Kayla?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Caleb picked 20 - 5 = 15 apples. Suraya picked 12 + 15 = 27 apples. Suraya picked 27 - 20 = 7 apples more than Kayla.
So the answer is 7.

Question: Aida has twice as many dolls as Sophie, and Sophie has twice as many dolls as Vera. How many dolls do Aida, Sophie, and Vera have combined if Vera has 20 dolls?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Sophie has twice as many dolls as Vera, then she has 2 * 20 dolls = 40 dolls. Aida has 2 * 40 dolls = 80 dolls, twice the number Sophie has. In total, they have 80 dolls + 40 dolls + 20 dolls = 140 dolls.
So the answer is 140.
