Q: A frog pond has five frogs living in it. Some frogs laid eggs, and now there are three times as many tadpoles growing into more frogs as there are frogs. Two-thirds of the tadpoles will survive to maturity as frogs. The pond can only sustain eight frogs. How many frogs will have to find a new pond when the tadpoles grow up?
A: There are three times the number of tadpoles as frogs, so there are 3 * 5 = 15 tadpoles. Two - thirds of the tadpoles will survive to become frogs, so 2 * 15 / 3 = 10 tadpoles will grow into frogs. When the tadpoles grow up, there will be 5 + 10 = 15 frogs in the pond. The pond can only sustain 8 frogs, so 15 - 8 = 7 frogs will need to find a new pond. The answer is 7.

Q: Stacy, Steve and Sylar have 1100 berries total. Stacy has 4 times as many berries as Steve, and Steve has double the number of berries that Skylar has. How many berries does Stacy have?
A: Let x be the number of berries Skylar has. Steve has 2x berries. Stacy has 4(2x) = 8x berries. 1100 = x + 2x + 8x. 1100 = 11x. x = 100 berries. Stacy has 8(100) = 800 berries. The answer is 800.

Q: Anna wants to plant red and yellow tulips in the shape of a smiley face. She needs 8 red tulips for each eye and 18 red tulips for the smile. If she needs 9 times the number of tulips in the smile to make the yellow background of the face, how many tulips does she need total?
A:
First find the total number of tulips in the eyes: 2 eyes * 8 tulips / eye = 16 tulips. Then find the number of tulips in the background: 18 tulips * 9 = 162 tulips. Then add the number of tulips in the eyes, smile, and background to find the total number of tulips: 16 tulips + 162 tulips + 18 tulips = 196 tulips. The answer is 196.
