Reasoning and answer: Chandler and Lucy can eat 23 + 19 = 42 apples per week. Therefore, they have to order 42 x 4 = 168 apples for a month.
The answer: 168

Question: Chandler can eat a total of 23 apples and Lucy can eat a total of 19 apples per week. If the farmer only delivers 1 time per month, how many apples do they have to order for a month?
Janelle has 6 bags * 10 blue marbles = 60 marbles. Janelle has a total of 26 green marbles + 60 blue marbles = 86 marbles. Janelle gave away a gift of 6 green + 8 blue marbles = 14 marbles. Janelle has a final amount of 86 marbles - 14 marbles = 72 marbles.
The answer: 72
Reverse engineering the question: Janelle had 26 green marbles. Then she bought 6 bags of blue marbles. There were 10 marbles in each bag. She created a gift of 6 green marbles and 8 blue marbles and gave it to a friend. How many marbles does Janelle have now?
Reasoning and answer: Of the 12 red mushrooms, 2 / 3 had spots, for a total of (2 / 3) * 12 = 8 white - spotted mushrooms. Of the 6 brown mushrooms, 100% had spots, for a total of (100 / 100) * 6 = 6 white - spotted mushrooms. Of the 14 green mushrooms, 0% had white spots, for a total of 14 * 0 = 0 white - spotted mushrooms. And of the 6 blue mushrooms, half had spots, for a total of (1 / 2) * 6 = 3 white - spotted mushrooms. In total, they gathered 8 + 6 + 0 + 3 = 17 white - spotted mushrooms.
The answer: 17
What was the question?
Question: Bill and Ted went into the forest to gather some wild mushrooms. Bill gathered 12 red mushrooms and 6 brown mushrooms. Ted gathered 14 green mushrooms and 6 blue mushrooms. If half of the blue mushrooms, two-thirds of the red mushrooms, and all of the brown mushrooms have white spots, how many white-spotted mushrooms did they gather?
Noah's bedroom light uses 6 watts per hour, so it would use 2 * 6 = 12 watts in two hours. His office light uses 3 times as many watts as his bedroom light, so it uses 3 * 6 = 18 watts per hour. In two hours, the office light would use 18 * 2 = 36 watts. The living room light uses 4 times as many watts as his bedroom light, so it uses 4 * 6 = 24 watts per hour. In two hours, the living room light would use 24 * 2 = 48 watts. Thus, if Noah leaves all those lights on for two hours, he has used 12 + 36 + 48 = 96 watts.
The answer: 96
Reverse engineering the question: Noah's bedroom light uses 6 watts per hour. His office light is much brighter so he can see to work and uses three times as much energy. The living room light has a much larger space to cover and has to be more powerful, so it uses four times as much energy as his bedroom light. If Noah leaves all those lights on for two hours, how many watts has he used?
Reasoning and answer: He runs the race in 5 / 15 = 1 / 3 of an hour. So he runs the race in 60 / 3 = 20 minutes. That means he beat the next fastest guy by 23 - 20 = 3 minutes.
The answer: 3
