Answer this question:Max has 8 children and each of his children has the same number of children as he does except for 2 who have 5 children each. How many grandchildren does he have?
Out of his 8 children, 2 have only 5 children so the rest who have 8 ( the same number as him) are 8 - 2 = 6. 6 of Max's children have 8 children each for a total of 6 * 8 = 48 grandchildren. 2 of Max's children have 5 children each for a total of 5 * 2 = 10 grandchildren. In total he has 48 + 10 = 58 grandchildren.
The answer is 58.

Answer this question:Janice adds 2 tablespoons of koolaid power and 16 tablespoons of water to a jug. She leaves it out long enough for 4 tablespoons of water to evaporate. Then she quadruples the amount of water in the jug. What percentage of the liquid in the jug is koolaid powder?
First find how many tablespoons of water are left after the evaporation: 16 tbs - 4 tbs = 12 tbs. Then multiply this number by 4 to find how much water is in the jug after Janice refills it: 12 tbs * 4 = 48 tbs. Now add the 2 tablespoons of koolaid powder to find the total volume of the liquid in the jug: 48 tbs + 2 tbs = 50 tbs. Now divide the volume of the koolaid powder by the total volume and multiply by 100% to find the percentage of the liquid that's koolaid: 2 tbs / 50 tbs * 100% = 4%.
The answer is 4.

Answer this question:If a basket is capable of holding 40 fruit altogether, and there are 3 times as many apples as oranges, how many oranges are there?
Since the ratio of apples to oranges is 3:1, that means for every 3 apples there is 1 orange. The size of this group is therefore 3 + 1 = 4. We then divide this group size into the total amount of fruit the basket is holding at this time, which is 40. This means there are 40 / 4 = 10 of these groups in total. Since there are 10 of these groups in total, that means there are 10 * 1 = 10 oranges in the basket.
The answer is 10.

Answer this question:Greg and Katie went to Mrs. Scarlet's gold store to have their gold chests opened. They realized Greg had four times less gold than Katie when Mrs. Scarlet opened the chests. If the total amount of gold is 100, how much gold does Greg have?
Let's say Greg had x number of golds. Katie had 4 * x = 4x. The total number of gold they all had is Katie's 4x + x gold for Gref = 5x. If the total amount of gold, which was 100 = 5x. Then x = 100 / 5 = 20. Greg had x = 20 gold.
The answer is 20.
