Question: James buys jars for his honey. He has 5 hives that each produce 20 liters of honey. Each jar can hold .5 liters. How many jars will he need to buy if his friend is bringing his own jars for half the honey?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: He produces 5 * 20 = 100 liters of honey. That means he keeps 100 / 2 = 50 liters of honey. So he needs 50 / .5 = 100 jars.
So the answer is 100.

Question: Reese has been practicing piano for four hours every week. How many hours will he practice after five months?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: If Reese practices 4 four hours every week, in a month, with four weeks, he would have practiced for 4 * 4 = 16 hours. In five months, Reese would have practiced for 5 * 16 = 80 hours.
So the answer is 80.

Question: A book has 8 chapters. Beth has read 2 chapters in 3 hours. If she continues reading at that rate, in how many hours will she be able to finish reading the remaining chapters?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Beth still needs to read 8 - 2 = 6 chapters. She can read 1 chapter in 3 / 2 = 1.5 hours. Therefore, she will be able to finish reading the remaining chapters in 1.5 x 6 = 9 hours.
So the answer is 9.
