Consider the Q and A. Q: Bill is trying to count the toddlers at his daycare, but they keep running around. He double-counts 8 toddlers and misses 3 who are hiding. If Bill thinks he counted 26 toddlers, how many are there really?
A: 21
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First subtract the 8 toddlers Bill double - counted from his count: 26 toddlers - 8 toddlers = 18 toddlers. Then add the 3 toddlers he missed to find the real count: 18 toddlers + 3 toddlers = 21 toddlers.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Mckenna starts her day at 8:00 a.m. She works in her office up to 11:00 a.m. then joins her team of developers at the conference room to talk about projects up to 13:00, from which she works for another two hours and then heads home. How many hours does Mckenna stay at work?
A: 7
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: From 8:00 to 11:00, Mckenna spends 11:00 - 8:00 = 3 hours at work. When she joins the developers in the conference room for the meeting, she spends an additional 13:00 - 11:00 = 2 hours at work. So far, she has spent 3 + 2 = 5 hours at work. When she works for an additional 2 hours before heading home, her total work hours become 5 + 2 = 7 hours.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Jeremy buys 30 watermelons. He eats 3 watermelons per week. Each week he gives 2 to his dad. How many weeks will the watermelons last?
A: 6
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Jeremey goes through 3 + 2 = 5 watermelons per week. Therefore, the watermelons will last him to 30 / 5 = 6 weeks.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Eugene built a model house out of toothpicks and a deck of playing cards. For every card, he used 75 toothpicks. The deck of playing cards had 52 cards, and Eugene used all but 16 of the cards to build his house. If a box of toothpicks contains 450 toothpicks, how many boxes of toothpicks did Eugene use to create his model house?
A: 6
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process:
If Eugene used all but 16 of the 52 cards, then he used 52 - 16 = 36 cards. If for every card he used 75 toothpicks, then a box of toothpicks would have enough toothpicks for 450 / 75 = 6 cards. Since one box has enough toothpicks for 6 cards, then for 36 cards he would need 36 / 6 = 6 boxes of toothpicks.
