Answer the following question.
Dale owns 4 sports cars. The red one can travel at twice the speed of the green one, but the green one can travel at 8 times the speed of the blue one. The yellow one is broken and cannot move at all. If the blue one can travel at a speed of 80 miles per hour, at what speed, in miles per hour, can the red car travel?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If the blue car can travel at 80 mph, then the green one can travel at 8 * 80 = 640 mph. If the green car can travel at 640 mph, then the red can travel at 2 * 640 = 1280 mph.
The answer is 1280.

Answer the following question.
Toby is counting goldfish in the local pond. He knows that only 25% of goldfish are at the surface and the rest are too deep below the surface to be able to see. If he counts 15 goldfish, how many are below the surface?
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 60 goldfish because 15 / .25 = 60. 75% of the fish are below the surface because 100 - 25 = 75. There are 45 goldfish below the surface because 60 x .75 = 45.
The answer is 45.
