Reasoning and answer: First find the number of fish the gharials need to eat: 9 gharials * 15 fish / gharial = 135 fish. Then find the number of frogs by multiplying that quantity by the number of frogs per fish: 135 fish * 8 frogs / fish = 1080 frogs. Then multiply the number of frogs by the number of flies each frog eats to find the number of flies: 1080 frogs * 30 flies / frog = 32,400.
The answer: 32400

Question: Each frog needs to eat 30 flies per day to live. Each fish needs to eat 8 frogs per day to live. Each gharial needs to eat 15 fish a day to live. How many flies get eaten every day in this swamp if it has 9 gharials?
In February, Bennett sold 8800 / 4 = 2200 window screens. In January, Bennett sold 2200 / 2 = 1100 window screens. Between January and March, Bennett sold 8800 + 2200 + 1100 = 12100 window screens.
The answer: 12100
Reverse engineering the question: Bennett sells window screens. He sold twice as many window screens in February as he sold last month. In February, Bennett sold a fourth of what he sold in March. If Bennet sold 8800 window screens in March, how many screens did Bennett sell from January to March?
Reasoning and answer: Each dog gets 24 baths a year because 2 x 12 = 24. Each cat gets 12 baths a year because 1 x 12 = 12. Each bird averages .25 baths per month because 1 / 4 = .25. Each bird gets 3 baths a year because .25 x 12 = 3. She gives 48 dog baths because 2 x 24 = 48. She gives 72 cat baths because 3 x 12 = 36. She gives 12 bird baths a year because 4 x 3 = 12. She gives 132 baths a year because 48 + 36 + 12 = 96.
The answer: 96

A spacecraft flying through normal space for seven hours at 2 - billion miles per hour travels 7 * 2 = 14 billion miles. A spacecraft flying through a black hole at 3 * 2 = 6 billion miles per hour. Thus, a spacecraft flying through a black hole for two hours travels 2 * 6 = 12 billion miles. Therefore, in total, the Zargon spacecraft will travel 14 + 12 = 26 billion miles.
The answer: 26
Reverse engineering the question: The Zargon Destroyer spacecraft can travel at 2 billion miles per hour in normal space, but when moving through a black hole they travel three times faster. If the Zargon Destroyer is making a voyage that travels seven hours in normal space and two hours through a black hole, how many billions of miles would they have traveled?
Reasoning and answer: Knives 2, 3 & 4 will cost $4.00 each to sharpen so that's 3 * 4 = $12.00. Knives 5 - 9 will cost $3.00 each to sharpen so that's 5 * 3 = $15.00. The first knife will cost $5.00, the next 3 cost $12.00 and the rest cost $15.00 for a total of 5 + 12 + 15 = $32.00.
The answer: 32

Question: Otto's local kitchen supply store charges $5.00 for the first knife that you need sharpened. They charge $4.00 for the next 3 knives and $3.00 for any knife after that. If Otto has 9 knives that need to be sharpened, how much will it cost to sharpen his knives?
Reasoning and answer: The amount paid to the teacher per day is 5 periods * $5 / period = $25 per day. The amount paid for 24 days is $25 / day * 24 days = $600. The total amount for 6 months is $600 * 6 = $3600.
The answer: 3600
