The second dog eats 1.5 x 2 = 3 cups of dog food. The third dog eats 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 cups. So, Hannah should prepare 1.5 + 3 + 5.5 = 10 cups.
The answer: 10
Reverse engineering the question: Hannah has three dogs. The first dog eats 1.5 cups of dog food a day. The second dog eats twice as much while the third dog eats 2.5 cups more than the second dog. How many cups of dog food should Hannah prepare in a day for her three dogs?
Reasoning and answer: There are 10 students in Liam's art class and 1 / 2 of them make a different amount of artworks than the other half, 1 / 2 x 10 = 5 students. 5 students make 3 artworks each, 5 x 3 = 15 artworks. The other 5 students make 4 artworks each, 5 x 4 = 20 artworks. Combined, the students in the class make 15 + 20 = 35 artworks.
The answer: 35
What was the question?
Question: Liam is teaching art to a group of 10 students. He has 20 art kits that he hands out to the students to share, 1 art kit for 2 students. From those art kits half the students make 3 artworks each and half the students make 4 artworks each. How many artistic works does the whole class create?
A jar of almond butter costs 3 * 3 = $9. It takes half a jar to make a batch of cookies, so it costs 9 / 2 = $4.50 to use almond butter. It costs 3 / 2 = $1.50 to use peanut butter. Thus, it costs 4.50 - 1.50 = $3 more to make a batch of almond butter cookies than peanut butter cookies.
The answer: 3
Reverse engineering the question: Nancy wanted to make peanut butter cookies for a family gathering, but her cousin is allergic to peanuts. She decided to make almond butter cookies instead. A jar of almond butter costs three times the amount that a jar of peanut butter does. It takes half a jar to make a batch of cookies. A jar of peanut butter costs $3. How many dollars more does it cost per batch to make almond butter cookies instead of peanut butter cookies?
Reasoning and answer: Mr. Salazar had 7 x 12 = 84 oranges. He reserved 84 x 1 / 4 = 21 oranges for his friend. Ha had 84 - 21 = 63 oranges to be sold yesterday. But only 63 x 3 / 7 = 27 oranges were sold yesterday. So, he had 63 - 27 = 36 oranges left. Since four oranges are rotten, then only 36 - 4 = 32 oranges are left to be sold today.
The answer: 32
What was the question?
Question: Mr. Salazar had seven dozen oranges. He reserved 1/4 of it for his friend and was able to sell 3/7 of the remaining yesterday. Today, he saw four rotten oranges. How many oranges are left to be sold today?
Katie runs one - third of Xavier's distance, which is 84 / 3 miles = 28 miles. Cole runs a quarter of Katie's distance, which translates to 28 / 4 = 7 miles.
The answer: 7
Reverse engineering the question: Xavier runs three times as many miles as Katie, who runs 4 times as many miles as Cole. If Xavier runs 84 miles, how many miles does Cole run?
Shells:80(.95) = 76. Opened Shells:76(.75) = 57.
The answer: 57
Reverse engineering the question:
A bag of pistachios has 80 pistachios in it. 95 percent have shells, and 75 percent of those have shells that are opened. How many pistachios in the bag have shells and have an opened shell?
