Q: Bill and Ted went into the forest to gather some wild mushrooms. Bill gathered 12 red mushrooms and 6 brown mushrooms. Ted gathered 14 green mushrooms and 6 blue mushrooms. If half of the blue mushrooms, two-thirds of the red mushrooms, and all of the brown mushrooms have white spots, how many white-spotted mushrooms did they gather?
A: Of the 12 red mushrooms, 2 / 3 had spots, for a total of (2 / 3) * 12 = 8 white - spotted mushrooms. Of the 6 brown mushrooms, 100% had spots, for a total of (100 / 100) * 6 = 6 white - spotted mushrooms. Of the 14 green mushrooms, 0% had white spots, for a total of 14 * 0 = 0 white - spotted mushrooms. And of the 6 blue mushrooms, half had spots, for a total of (1 / 2) * 6 = 3 white - spotted mushrooms. In total, they gathered 8 + 6 + 0 + 3 = 17 white - spotted mushrooms. The answer is 17.
Question: Three different 6th grade classes are combining for a square dancing unit. If possible, the teachers would like each male student to partner with a female student for the unit. The first class has 17 males and 13 females, while the second class has 14 males and 18 females, and the third class has 15 males and 17 females. When the classes are combined, how many students will be unable to partner with a student of the opposite gender?
Answer: Combining the three classes, there are 17 + 14 + 15 = 46 male students. Similarly, there are 13 + 18 + 17 = 48 female students. Thus, there are 48 - 46 = 2 students who cannot partner with a student of the opposite gender. The answer is 2.
[Question]Miss Walter has 50 gold stickers. She also has twice as many silver stickers as gold stickers, and 20 fewer bronze stickers than silver stickers. She wants to give the same number of stickers to each of her 5 students. How many stickers will each student receive?
[Answer]She has 50 x 2 = 100 silver stickers. And she also has 100 - 20 = 80 bronze stickers. So, Miss Walter has a total of 50 + 100 + 80 = 230 stickers. Therefore, her 5 students will have 230 / 5 = 46 stickers each. The answer is 46.

Question: When Patrick, Manu, and Amy participate in a race they realize that Patrick finishes the race in 60 seconds. Manu took 12 more seconds to finish the race. If Amy is twice as fast as Manu, how long did it take her to finish the race?
Answer: The time it took Manu to complete the race is 60 + 12 = 72 seconds. If Amy is twice as fast as Manu, then she takes half the time Manu did to finish the race, so Amy took 1 / 2 * 72 = 36 seconds. The answer is 36.
