Question: Blake wants to spend his Friday making milkshakes for his family. He knows that he needs 4 ounces of milk and 12 ounces of ice cream for each milkshake. If he has 72 ounces of milk and 192 ounces of ice cream, how much milk will be left over when he is done?
Answer: He has enough milk to make 18 milkshakes because 72 / 4 = 18. He has enough ice cream to make 16 milkshakes because 192 / 12 = 16. He can only make 16 milkshakes because 16 < 18. He will use 64 ounces of milk because 16 x 4 = 64. He will have 8 ounces of milk left because 72 - 64 = 8. The answer is 8.
[Question]Courtney liked to collect marbles. She kept them in mason jars. One jar had 80 marbles. Her second jar had twice that amount. She just started her third jar which currently has 1/4 the amount of her first jar. How many marbles does she have in total?
[Answer]One jar had 80 and the second jar had twice that amount so 2 * 80 = 160 marbles. The third jar had 1 / 4 of the first jar's 80 marbles so it had .25 * 80 = 20 marbles. When you add up all the jars, she had 80 + 160 + 20 = 260 marbles. The answer is 260.

Question: Trevor's older brother was twice his age 20 years ago. How old was Trevor a decade ago if his brother is now 32 years old?
Answer: If Trevor's brother is 32 years old today then 20 years ago he was = 32 - 20 = 12 years old. If Trevor's brother was 12 years old and he was twice Trevor's age, then Trevor was 12 / 2 = 6 years old. If Trevor was 6 years old 20 years ago, then he must be 6 + 20 = 26 years old today. If Trevor is 26 years old today then a decade ago he must have been 26 - 10 = 16 years old. The answer is 16.
[Question]Tom split 2 apples into 8 slices each. Tom gave 3/8ths of the apple slices to his friend Jerry, then ate half of the remaining slices. How many apple slices does Tom have left?
