Question: Tom decides to make lasagna with all his beef. It takes twice as many noodles as beef. He has 10 pounds of beef. He already has 4 pounds of lasagna noodles and the noodles come in 2-pound packages. How many packages does he need to buy?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: He needs 10 * 2 = 20 pounds of noodles. That means he needs to buy 20 - 4 = 16 pounds of noodles. So he needs to buy 16 / 2 = 8 packages.
So the answer is 8.

Question: On Tuesday, a fruit vendor sold 2.5 dozen lemons and 5 dozens avocados. What is the total number of fruits that the fruit vendor sold?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Since 1 dozen is equal to 12, then the vendor sold 2.5 x 12 = 30 lemons. While he sold 5 x 12 = 60 avocados. So, the fruit vendor sold a total of 30 + 60 = 90 fruits.
So the answer is 90.

Question: Kirill is 14 less centimeters in height than his brother. Together their heights equal 112 centimeters. How tall is Kirill in centimeters?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Let B = brother's height in cm. Kirill = B - 14. 2B - 14 = 112 cm. 2B = 126. B = 63 cm. Kirill = 63 - 14 = 49 cm. Kirill is 49 centimeters tall.
So the answer is 49.

Question: Legacy has 5 bars of gold she received from her father. Her friend Aleena has 2 bars fewer than she has. If a bar of gold is worth $2200, calculate the total value of gold the three have together.
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Legacy has 5 bars, Aleena has 5 bars - 2 bars = 3 bars. In total, they have 5 bars + 3 bars = 8 bars,. Since one bar of gold is worth $2200, the 8 bars they have together are worth 8 bars * $2200 / bar = $17600.
So the answer is 17600.
