Q: Abigail collected 2 boxes of cookies for the bake sale. Grayson collected 3 quarters of a box, and Olivia collected 3 boxes. Assuming that each box contains 48 cookies, how many cookies did they collect in total?
A: Abigail collected 2 * 48 = 96 cookies. There are 48 / 4 = 12 cookies in a quarter of a box. Grayson collected 12 * 3 = 36 cookies. Olivia collected 48 * 3 = 144 cookies. In total they collected 96 + 36 + 144 = 276 cookies. The answer is 276.

Question: Jane bought pens for her three students. Each student received 62 red pens and 43 black pens. They pooled their pens together and took them from the pool whenever they needed them. After the first month, they had taken a total of 37 pens from the pool. After the second month, they had taken another 41 pens from the pool. Then Jane decided to split the remaining pens equally among them. How many pens will each student get now?
Answer: Each student got 62 + 43 = 105 pens to start with. They pooled them to get 105 * 3 = 315 pens in the pool. They took 37 pens in the first month, leaving 315 - 37 = 278 pens in the pool. They took 41 pens in the second month, leaving 278 - 41 = 237 pens in the pool. 237 pens were split into three equal parts to give 237 / 3 = 79 pens each. The answer is 79.
Q: Dexter and Jay are using a gallon of white paint to paint the walls. Dexter used 3/8 of the gallon of paint while Jay used 5/8 of a gallon of paint. If a gallon is equal to 4 liters, how many liters of paint were left from Dexter and Jay combined?
A:
Dexter used 4 x 3 / 8 = 3 / 2 liters of paint. Jay used 4 x 5 / 8 = 5 / 2 liters of paint. Together, they used 3 / 2 + 5 / 2 = 4 liters of paint. Since each of them used a gallon of paint, then they both used 2 x 4 = 8 liters of paint together. Therefore, 8 - 4 = 4 liters of paint were left. The answer is 4.
