Q: There are 50 oysters on the rocks at La Push Park and 72 crabs by the beach. Eric, who loves walking by the beach, makes a note of this and goes home. The next day, he realizes only half the number of Oysters were on the rocks, and only 2/3 the number of crabs as the previous day are on the beach. How many oysters and crabs did he count in total in the two days?
A: The first day he saw 50 oysters + 72 crabs = 122 animals. On the second day, he saw 1 / 2 * 50 oysters = 25 oysters. The number of crabs by the beach on the second day was 2 / 3 * 72 crabs = 48. He saw 48 crabs + 25 oysters = 73 animals on the second day. The total for the two days is 73 animals + 122 animals = 195 animals. The answer is 195.
Question: Stephen made 10 round trips up and down a 40,000 foot tall mountain. If he reached 3/4 of the mountain's height on each of his trips, calculate the total distance he covered.
Answer: Up a mountain, Stephen covered 3 / 4 * 40000 = 30000 feet. Coming down, Stephen covered another 30000 feet, making the total distance covered in one round to be 30000 + 30000 = 60000. Since Stephen made 10 round trips up and down the mountain, he covered 10 * 60000 = 600000. The answer is 600000.
