Answer the following question.
Flies are Betty's frog's favorite food. Every day the frog eats 2 flies. Betty puts the flies she finds in a bottle. In the morning Betty catches 5 flies inside a bottle, and in the afternoon she catches 6 more, but when she removes the lid, one escapes. Betty wants to gather the whole week's food for her frog. How many more flies does she need?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The frog eats 2 flies / day * 7 days / week = 14 flies a week. Betty catches flies in the morning and in the afternoon, for a total of 5 flies + 6 flies = 11 flies. But 1 fly escapes, leaving 11 flies - 1 fly = 10 flies. To get her frog's food for the whole week, Betty needs 14 flies - 10 flies = 4 more flies.
The answer is 4.

Answer the following question.
Marcia's hair is 24" long at the beginning of the school year. She cuts half of her hair off and lets it grow out 4 more inches. She then cuts off another 2" of hair. How long is her hair?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Her hair was 24" long and she cut half off so she cut 24 / 2 = 12 inches. Her hair was 24" long and she cut 12" off so she has 24 - 12 = 12 inches left. She has 12" of hair and lets it grow 4 more inches for a total of 12 + 4 = 16 inches. She has 16" and cuts off 2 more inches which leaves her hair 16 - 2 = 14 inches long.
The answer is 14.
