Teacher:This task involves creating questions from a given passage that involve some kind of complex reasoning (including numerical reasoning).
The generated questions must require looking at more than one part of the passage to answer. Try to use a variety of reasoning types in your questions (some of the sample reasoning types are illustrated in the 'positive examples' field) and also have a variety of answer types (spans, numbers, dates). A span is a continuous phrase taken directly from the passage or question. In such questions, the answer spans are recommended to be five words. Questions with answer type "number", are expected to start with "How many". For instance, "How long did an event last?" can be phrased as "How many years did an event last?". To increase diversity, try to create more questions for which the answer will be multiple spans. Please create questions that require AT LEAST 2 arithmetic operations as illustrated in the 'positive examples' field. You are encouraged to try DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS of operations and not just limit to the combinations shown in those examples. The more challenging questions you create, the better it is.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Passage: In April 1520, Cortes was told by Moctezuma, that a much larger party of Spanish troops, consisting of nineteen ships and fourteen hundred soldiers under the command of Panfilo de Narvaez, had arrived. Panfilo de Narvaez had been sent by Governor Velazquez from Cuba to kill or capture Cortes, who had defied Velazquez's orders. :281 Leaving his "least reliable soldiers" under the command of the headstrong Pedro de Alvarado to guard Moctezuma, Cortes set out against De Narvaez, who had advanced onto Cempoala. Cortes surprised his antagonist with a night attack, during which his men wounded Narvaez in the eye and took him prisoner. After Cortes permitted the defeated soldiers to settle in the country, they "passed with more or less willingness to Cortes' side." Hernan Cortes gained their support when he "promised to make them rich and give them commands ." Cortes then made a rapid return to Tenochtitlan, to relieve the besieged Alvarado and the other invaders.:282-84 Cortes led his combined forces on an arduous trek back over the Sierra Madre Oriental, returning to Mexico on St. John's Day June 1520, with 1300 soldiers and 96 horses, plus 2000 Tlaxcalan warriors.:284.
Student:
How many Tlaxcalan warriors than soldiers did Cortes have?
