[Answer]He works 8 hours a day for 10 days means he works 8 * 10 = 80 hours. It takes him 5 hours to build one rocking chair so over 80 hours he builds 80 / 5 = 16 rocking chairs. The answer is 16.
Q: Ken can do 20 sit-ups without stopping. Nathan can do twice as many, and Bob can do half the number of Ken and Nathan's combined sit-ups. How many more sit-ups can Bob do compared to Ken?
A: Nathan can do 20 x 2 = 40 sit ups. Ken and Nathan's combined number is 20 + 40 = 60 sit - ups. Bob can do 60 / 2 = 30 sit - ups. Bob can do 30 - 20 = 10 more sit - ups than Ken. The answer is 10.

[Question]Wilma has a garden with 3 types of flowers. The garden has 6 rows, with 13 flowers in each row. Wilma has 12 yellow flowers, two times more green flowers, and the rest consist of red flowers. How many red flowers does Wilma have?
[Answer]The garden has space for 6 * 13 = 78 flowers in total. Wilma has two times more green flowers than yellow flowers, which means she has 2 * 12 = 24 green flowers. That leaves us with 78 - 24 - 12 = 42 red flowers in the garden. The answer is 42.
Q: Mason opens the hood of his car and discovers that squirrels have been using his engine compartment to store nuts. If 2 busy squirrels have been stockpiling 30 nuts/day and one sleepy squirrel has been stockpiling 20 nuts/day, all for 40 days, how many nuts are in Mason's car?
A: First find the number of nuts the two busy squirrels gather per day: 2 squirrels * 30 nuts / day / squirrel = 60 nuts / day. Then add the number the sleepy squirrel gathers each day: 60 nuts / day + 20 nuts / day = 80 nuts / day. Then multiply the number of nuts gathered daily by the number of days to find the total number of nuts gathered: 80 nuts / day * 40 days = 3200 nuts. The answer is 3200.
Question: There are 40 students in a class. If 1/10 are absent, 3/4 of the students who are present are in the classroom, and the rest are in the canteen, how many students are in the canteen?
Answer:
Out of the 40, 40 x 1 / 10 = 4 students are absent. So, 40 - 4 = 36 students are present in school. Out of the 36, 36 x 3 / 4 = 27 students are in the classroom. This means, 36 - 27 = 9 students are in the canteen. The answer is 9.
