Then find how many students in Ms. Perez's class collected 12 cans each: 30 students / 2 = 15 students. Then find how many cans the students who collected 12 cans each collected in total: 15 students * 12 cans / student = 180 cans. Then find how many cans the students who collected 4 cans each collected in total: 13 students * 4 cans / student = 52 cans. Then add both amounts of cans to find the total: 180 cans + 52 cans = 232 cans.
The answer: 232
Reverse engineering the question: The fifth grade class at Rosa Parks Elementary School is holding a food drive. Half the students in Ms. Perez's class collected 12 cans each, two students didn't collect any, and the remaining 13 students students each collected 4 cans. If Ms. Perez's class has 30 students, how many cans did they collect total?
Reasoning and answer: First find the total number of tools in the Walmart multitool: 1 tool + 3 tools + 2 tools = 6 tools. Then find the total number of knives in the Target multitool: 3 knives * 2 = 6 knives. Then find the total number of tools in the Target multitool: 1 tool + 6 tools + 3 tools + 1 tool = 11 tools. Then subtract the number of tools in the Walmart multitool from the number in the Target multitool to find the difference: 11 tools - 6 tools = 5 tools.
The answer: 5
What was the question?
Question: Walmart sells a multitool with a screwdriver, 3 knives, and two other tools. Target sells a multitool with a screwdriver, twice as many knives as Walmart, three files and a pair of scissors. How many more tools does the Target multitool have compared to Walmart?
Each day, the shampoo bottle goes down 1 / 2 an ounce because 1 - (1 / 2) = 1 / 2. After four days the shampoo bottle is 2 ounces lower because 4 x (1 / 2) = 2. After four days, the shampoo bottle has 8 ounces of liquid left because 10 - 2 = 8. After four days the shampoo bottle has 2 ounces of hot sauce 4 x (1 / 2) = 2. The proportion of hot sauce in the bottle is .25 because 2 / 8 = .25. The percentage of hot sauce is 25% because .25 x 100 = 25.
The answer: 25
Reverse engineering the question: Adonis is playing a prank on his dad by replacing his shampoo with hot sauce. Every day, after his dad showers, Adonis replaces the shampoo with 1/2 an ounce of hot sauce. He knows his dad uses 1 oz of shampoo a day from a new 10 oz bottle that no one else uses. After 4 days, what percentage of the liquid in the bottle is hot sauce?
Reasoning and answer: There are 10 + 4 = 14 yellow candies. There are 14 - 2 = 12 green candies. There are 10 + 14 + 12 = 36 rainbow nerds candies in the box.
The answer: 36
What was the question?
Question: A box of rainbow nerds contains 10 purple candies, 4 more yellow candies, and 2 fewer green candies than yellow candies. How many rainbow nerds are there in the box?
They are to order a total of 3 burger meals and 3 sodas for Paulo and Jeremy. The cost of a soda is $6 / 3 = $2. So, the 3 sodas will amount to $2 / soda x 3 sodas = $6. The 3 burger meals will amount to $6 / burger x 3 burgers = $18. Hence, the total cost for their orders is $6 + $18 = $24.
The answer: 24
Reverse engineering the question: Paulo wants to get a burger meal that costs $6. Aside from that, he also wants to get a soda which costs 1/3 as much as the burger meal. While on the counter, Jeremy asked Paulo to get him 2 of each item Paulo is going to get. How much will they be charged for their orders combined?
The total distance Terese runs is 4.2 + 3.8 + 4.4 + 3.6 = 16 miles. Therefore, she runs with an average distance of 16 / 4 = 4 miles.
The answer: 4
Reverse engineering the question:
Terese thinks that running various distances throughout the week can make one healthy. On Monday, she runs 4.2 miles; Tuesday, 3.8 miles; Wednesday, 3.6 miles; and on Thursday, 4.4 miles. Determine the average distance Terese runs on each of the days she runs.
