Come up with a question and reasoning that would justify [36] as the answer.
The question is: Elijah drank 8.5 pints of coffee yesterday. Emilio drank 9.5 pints of water yesterday. How many cups of liquid did the two boys drink yesterday?
Reasoning: Total drunk: 8.5 + 9.5 = 18 pints. 18 pints * 2 = 36 cups. The two boys drank a total of 36 cups of liquid yesterday.

Come up with a question and reasoning that would justify [24] as the answer.
The question is: At football tryouts, the coach wanted to see who could throw the ball the farthest. Parker threw the ball 16 yards. Grant threw the ball 25 percent farther than Parker and Kyle threw the ball 2 times farther than Grant. Compared to Parker, how much farther did Kyle throw the ball?
Reasoning: Grant threw the ball 25% farther than Parker. If Parker threw the ball 16 yards, then Grant threw it 16 * .25 = 4 farther. In total, Grant threw the ball 16 + 4 = 20 yards. Kyle threw 2 times farther than Grant so Kyle threw the ball 2 * 20 = 40 yards. If Kyle threw the ball for 40 yards and Parker threw for 16 then Kyle threw the ball 40 - 16 = 24 yards farther.

Come up with a question and reasoning that would justify [5] as the answer.
The question is: Tony is driving his car between his town and a friend's down. The towns are 120 miles apart and he gets there in 3 hours. The next day, he is driving to see another friend who lives 200 miles away from his friend. If he drives at the same speed, how long will the drive take?
Reasoning: He is driving 40 MPH because 120 / 3 = 40. It will take him 5 hours because 200 / 40 = 5.
