The number of photos in the first batch of pages is 12 * 2 = 24 photos. The number of photos in the second batch is 9 * 3 = 27 photos. The total number of photos used in the newspaper is 24 + 27 = 51 photos.
The answer: 51
Reverse engineering the question: In a newspaper, each one of 12 pages holds 2 photos and each of another 9 pages hold 3 photos. How many photos are used in the newspaper?
Reasoning and answer: Since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, then 3 liters is equal to 3 x 1000 = 3000 milliliters. She needs to drink 3000 / 500 = 6 sets of 500 milliliters of water. So, she will be able to drink a total of 3 liters after 6 sets x every 2 hours = 12 hours.
The answer: 12

Question: Sandy's goal is to drink 3 liters of water in a day. She drinks 500 milliliters of water every after 2 hours. After how many hours will she be able to drink a total of 3 liters of water?
Each session is 30 / 60 = .5 hours. So she spends .5 * 2 = 1 hour a day. So she spends 1 * 7 = 7 hours a week.
The answer: 7

Reasoning and answer: Sam has half the number of Chris: 6 / 2 = 3 teslas. Elon has 10 more than Sam: 10 + 3 = 13 teslas.
The answer: 13
What was the question?
Question: Elon has 10 more teslas than Sam who has half the number of teslas as Chris. Chris has 6 teslas. How many teslas does Elon have?
One dozen of flowers is equal to 1 x 12 = 12 flowers. There are 12 - 2 = 10 flowers that are not daisies. So, 10 x 3 / 5 = 6 of the flowers are tulips. Therefore, there are 10 - 6 = 4 sunflowers.
The answer: 4
Reverse engineering the question: Rose bought her mother one dozen flowers. Two of the flowers are daisies. Three-fifths of the remaining flowers are tulips and the rest are sunflowers. How many sunflowers are there?
