Q: In 2004, there were 60 kids at a cookout. In 2005, half the number of kids came to the cookout as compared to 2004. In 2006, 2/3 as many kids came to the cookout as in 2005. How many kids came to the cookout in 2006?
A: 20
Step-by-step reasoning process: In 2005, 60 / 2 = 30 kids came to the cookout. In 2006, 30 / 3 * 2 = 20 kids came to the cookout.

Q: Joey needs to take a new prescription. The first day he needs to take one pill. Each day he must take two more pills than the previous day. How many pills will he take in a week?
A: 49
Step-by-step reasoning process: For the second day he takes 1 + 2 = 3 pills. For the third day he takes 3 + 2 = 5 pills. For the fourth day he takes 5 + 2 = 7 pills. For the fifth day he takes 7 + 2 = 9 pills. For the sixth day he takes 9 + 2 = 11 pills. For the seventh day he takes 11 + 2 = 13 pills. For the entire week he takes a total of 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 = 49 pills.

Q: Jerry's two daughters play softball on different teams. They each have 8 games this season. Each team practices 4 hours for every game they play. If each game lasts for 2 hours, how many hours will Jerry spend at the field watching his daughters play and practice altogether?
A: 96
Step-by-step reasoning process: Jerry will spend 8 games x 2 hours per game = 16 hours watching one daughter play her games. He will spend 16 x 2 = 32 hours watching both daughters play their games. He will spend 8 games x 4 hours of practice = 32 hours watching one daughter practice. He will spend 32 x 2 = 64 hours watching both daughters practice. He will spend a total of 32 hours watching games + 64 hours watching practice = 96 hours.

Q: In 6 months Bella and Bob will be celebrating their 4th anniversary. How many months ago did they celebrate their 2nd anniversary?
A: 18
Step-by-step reasoning process: First, we find their current point in time be realizing that 4 years is 4 sets of 12 months, meaning at that anniversary they will have been together 4 * 12 = 48 months. Then, we subtract their 6 month difference, finding they are at 48 - 6 = 42 months into their relationship. Since 2 years would be 2 * 12 = 24 months into the relationship. We take the larger number, 42, and subtract the smaller number, 24 to find the difference in months, meaning it is 42 - 24 = 18 months.
