Answer the following question.
Mitch is baking a cake and needs 3 cups of flour and two cups of sugar. He doesn't have a one cup scoop, only a 1/3 cup scoop. How many total scoops will he need?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He needs 9 scoops of flour because 3 / (1 / 3) = 9. He needs 6 scoops of sugar because 2 / (1 / 3) = 6. He needs 15 total scoops because 9 + 6 = 15.
The answer is 15.

Answer the following question.
A baker is comparing the day's sales to his daily average. He usually sells 20 pastries and 10 loaves of bread. Today, he sells 14 pastries and 25 loaves of bread. If pastries are sold for $2 and loaves of bread are sold for $4, what is the difference, in dollars, between the baker's daily average and total for today?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The daily average sales of pastries amounts to 20 pastries * $2 / pastry = $40. The daily average sales of bread amounts to 10 loaves of bread * $4 / loaf = $40. Therefore, the daily average is $40 + $40 = $80. Today's sales of pastries amounts to 14 pastries * $2 / pastry = $28. Today's sales of loaves of bread amounts to 25 loaves of bread * $4 / loaf = $100. Therefore, today's sales amount to $28 + $100 = $128. This means the total difference between today's sales and the daily average is $128 $80 = $48.
The answer is 48.

Answer the following question.
Travis has 10000 apples, and he is planning to sell these apples in boxes. Fifty apples can fit in each box. If he sells each box of apples for $35, how much will he be able to take home?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The total of boxes of apples is 10000 / 50 = 200. Therefore the total amount he can take home is 200 x $35 = $7000.
The answer is 7000.

Answer the following question.
Jessica just got her driving permit. She must complete 50 hours of driving with a parent to get her driver's license. It takes 20 minutes to drive to school. If she drives to and from school every day, how many school days will it take Jessica to meet the 50-hour driving requirement?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Jessica will drive 20 minutes, twice every school day (to and from school), so 20 minutes x 2 trips = 40 minutes each day. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 50 hours of driving x 60 minutes / hour = 3,000 minutes. If you take the 3,000 minutes she needs to drive / 40 minutes driving each day = 75 school days to drive 50 hours.
The answer is 75.
