Question and rationale: The question is: Three cats sat on a fence, meowing at the moon. The first cat meowed 3 times per minute. The second cat meowed twice as frequently as the first cat. And the third cat meowed at one-third the frequency of the second cat. What is the combined total number of meows the three cats make in 5 minutes?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The second cat meowed twice as frequently as the three meows per minute from the first cat, for a total of 2 * 3 = 6 meows per minute. The third cat meowed at one - third the frequency of the second cat, for a total of 6 / 3 = 2 meows per minute. Thus, combined, the three cats meow 3 + 6 + 2 = 11 times per minute. In five minutes, the three cats meow 5 * 11 = 55 times.

Question and rationale: The question is: In one month in the Smith house, Kylie uses 3 bath towels, her 2 daughters use a total of 6 bath towels, and her husband uses a total of 3 bath towels. If the washing machine can fit 4 bath towels for one load of laundry, how many loads of laundry will the Smiths need to do to clean all of their used towels?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The total number of bath towels used in one month is 3 + 6 + 3 = 12 bath towels. The number of loads of laundry the Smiths need to do is 12 / 4 = 3 loads.

Question and rationale: The question is: Kevin has been for a run and wants to calculate how far he traveled. He ran at 10 miles per hour for half an hour, 20 miles per hour for half an hour, then ran at 8 miles per hour for 15 minutes. How many miles has Kevin run?
Step-by-step reasoning process: At his first speed, Kevin ran 10 miles per hour * 0.5 hours = 5 miles. At his second speed, he ran 20 miles per hour * 0.5 hours = 10 miles. 15 minutes is a quarter of an hour so at his third speed, he ran 8 miles per hour * 0.25 hours = 2 miles. Therefore, Kevin ran a total of 5 miles + 10 miles + 2 miles = 17 miles.

Question and rationale:
The question is: Caleb and Cynthia are filling up their inflatable pool with water using buckets. They fill their buckets at the spigot and carry them to the pool. Caleb can add 7 gallons from his bucket and Cynthia can add 8 gallons from her bucket each trip. It will take 105 gallons to fill the pool. How many trips will it take for Caleb and Cynthia to fill the pool with their buckets?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Each trip, they add Caleb's 7 gallons + Cynthia's 8 gallons = 15 gallons. Since they are adding 15 gallons every trip, to fill the 105 - gallon pool, it would take 105 / 15 = 7 trips.
