Question: Three-quarters of the oil from a 4000-liter tank (that was initially full) was poured into a 20000-liter capacity tanker that already had 3000 liters of oil. How many more liters of oil would be needed to make the large tanker half-full?
Answer: Three - quarters of oil from the initially full 4000 - liter tank would be 4000 * (3 / 4) = 3000 liters. In addition to the 3000 liters that were already in the large tanker, there are 3000 + 3000 = 6000 liters in it now. The tanker would be filled to half capacity by (1 / 2) * 20000 = 10000 liters of oil. There are 10000 - 6000 = 4000 liters left to reach half capacity. The answer is 4000.

Question: Donna is catering for a party. She makes 20 sandwiches and then cuts them in half, before cutting them in half again. She then gives everyone 8 portions. How many people can she feed?
Answer: First, we need to determine the overall number of portions. To do this, we begin by performing 20 * 2 = 40 portions after the first halving. Next, we take this portion number and double it again, performing 40 * 2 = 80 portions after the second halving. Lastly, we divide this portion number by the number of portions each person will be served, performing 80 / 8 = 10 people served. The answer is 10.
[Question]A pumpkin patch allows people to come pick pumpkins to carve in the fall every year. They charge $3 per person for a pumpkin. The remaining pumpkins get turned into cans of pie filling, 3 pumpkins to a can. They grew 83 pumpkins this year and made $96 selling pumpkins for carving. How many cans of pie filling will the pumpkin patch produce?
[Answer]The pumpkin patch sold 96 / 3 = 32 pumpkins. They have 83 - 32 = 51 pumpkins left. Thus, the pumpkin patch will produce 51 / 3 = 17 cans of pie filling. The answer is 17.
