Answer the following question.
Joyce moved to the countryside because she needed more farmland to grow her vegetables. Her new property is 10 times larger than her previous property, but her new land has a 1-acre pond on it where she cannot grow vegetables. If her previous property was 2 acres, how many acres of land does she now own that are suitable for growing vegetables?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Joyce's new land is 10 times larger than her old 2 - acre property, for a total of 2 * 10 = 20 acres of land. One acre is not suitable for farming, leaving her with 20 - 1 = 19 acres of land suitable for farming.
The answer is 19.

Answer the following question.
TreShaun's full marker has enough ink in it to paint three 4 inch by 4 inch squares. If he colors in two 6 inch by 2 inch rectangles, what percentage of ink is left?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Each 4 by 4 square equals 16 square inches because 4 x 4 = 16. Three squares equals 48 square inches because 3 x 16 = 48. Each rectangle uses 12 square inches because 2 x 6 = 12. Both rectangles will use 24 square inches because 2 x 12 = 24. He has 1 / 2 of the ink left because 24 / 48 = 1 / 2. He has 50% of the ink left because 1 / 2 x 100 = 50.
The answer is 50.

Answer the following question.
Christine and Janice are having a contest to see who can throw a ball the highest. They each get three throws. On her first throw, Christine throws it 20 feet high. Janice's throw is 4 feet lower than Christine's. On their second throw, Christine throws it ten feet higher than her first throw and Janice throws it twice as high as her first throw. On the final throw, Christine throws it 4 feet higher than her 2nd throw while Janice throws it 17 feet higher than Christine's first throw. What is the height of the highest throw?
Step-by-step reasoning process: We know Christine's second throw was 30 feet high because 20 + 10 = 30. We know Christine's third throw was 34 feet because 30 + 4 = 34. Janice's first throw was 16 feet because 20 - 4 = 16. Janice's second throw was 32 feet because 16 * 2 = 32. Janice's final throw was 37 feet high because 20 + 17 = 37. The six throws were 20 feet, 30 feet, 34 feet, 16 feet, 32 feet, and 37 feet, and of these numbers, 37 feet was the highest.
The answer is 37.

Answer the following question.
Bella bought stamps at the post office. Some of the stamps had a snowflake design, some had a truck design, and some had a rose design. Bella bought 11 snowflake stamps. She bought 9 more truck stamps than snowflake stamps, and 13 fewer rose stamps than truck stamps. How many stamps did Bella buy in all?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The number of truck stamps is 11 + 9 = 20. The number of rose stamps is 20 13 = 7. Bella bought 11 + 20 + 7 = 38 stamps in all.
The answer is 38.
