[Question]Thirty-six marbles are divided between Mario and Manny in the ratio 4:5. If Manny decided to give 2 marbles to his brother, how many marbles does Manny have now?
[Answer]The marbles are divided into 4 + 5 = 9 parts. Each part consists 36 / 9 = 4 marbles. So Manny had 5 parts x 4 = 20 marbles. After giving 2 marbles to his brother, he now has 20 - 2 = 18 marbles left. The answer is 18.

[Question]Gilbert, the bearded dragon, eats 4 crickets per week when the temperature averages 90 degrees F per day, but he eats twice as many crickets per week when the temperature averages 100 degrees F. How many crickets will he eat over 15 weeks if the temperature averages 90 degrees F for 80% of the time, and 100 degrees F for the remainder of the time?
[Answer]It will be 90 degrees for 80% of the 15 weeks, for a total of 0.8 * 15 = 12 weeks. It will be 100 degrees F for the remainder of the 15 weeks, or 15 - 12 = 3 weeks. During the 12 weeks when it averages 90 degrees F, he will eat 4 crickets per week for a total of 12 * 4 = 48 crickets. When it averages 100 degrees F, he eats twice as many crickets per week as when it averages 90 degrees F per week, for a total of 2 * 4 = 8 crickets per week. During these 3 weeks, he will eat 8 * 3 = 24 crickets. Therefore, over the 15 weeks, he will eat a total of 48 + 24 = 72 crickets. The answer is 72.

[Question]Cape May and Daytona Beach have 40 shark sightings a year. If Cape May has 8 less than double the number of shark sightings of Daytona Beach, how many shark sightings does Cape May have?
[Answer]Let x be the number of sharks in Daytona Beach. Cape May has 2x - 8 shark sightings. x + (2x - 8) = 40. 3x - 8 = 40. 3x = 48. x = 16. Cape May has 2(16) - 8 = 24 shark sightings. The answer is 24.

[Question]In a 5-day Fishing competition, Jackson was able to reel a total of 6 fishes per day, Jonah was able to reel 4 fishes per day and George was able to reel 8 fishes per day. How many fishes were they able to catch throughout the competition if they are on the same team?
[Answer]
Jackson gets a total of 6x5 = 30 fishes after the competition. Jonah gets 4x5 = 20 fishes after the competition. And George was able to get 8x5 = 40 fishes after the competition. Therefore the total fishes they were able to get for their team is 30 + 20 + 40 = 90. The answer is 90.
