Question: John bakes 12 coconut macaroons, each weighing 5 ounces. He then packs an equal number of the macaroons in 4 different brown bags, ready for delivery. When he briefly leaves the kitchen to pick the phone, his little brother Steve eats the entire contents of one of the brown bags. What is the total weight, in ounces, of the remaining coconut macaroons?
Answer: Each brown bag has 12 / 4 = 3 macaroons. After Steve eats a bag, there are 12 - 3 = 9 macaroons left. The total weight is therefore 9 * 5 = 45 ounces. The answer is 45.
[Question]Liz roasts 2 16 pounds turkeys every Thanksgiving. She can only roast them 1 at a time because she has a small oven. She roasts each turkey for 15 minutes per pound. If dinner is served at 6:00 pm what is the latest time she can start roasting the turkeys?
[Answer]She bakes a turkey for 15 minutes a pound and the turkey is 16 pounds so it takes 15 * 16 = 240 minutes. She has 2 turkeys to roast and one turkey takes 240 minutes to cook so 2 turkeys will take 2 * 240 = 480 minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour and these turkeys will take 480 minutes to cook so that's 480 / 60 = 8 hours. In military time, 6:00 pm is 18:00 hours (12 hours + 6 hours) and it takes 8 hours to cook the turkeys so the latest she can start is 18 - 8 = 10:00 am. The answer is 10.
Q: Homer scored 400 points on the first try in a Candy crush game, 70 points fewer on the second try, and twice the number of points she scored on the second try on the third try. What's the total number of points that she scored in all tries?
A: If Homer scored 400 points on the first try, he scored 400 - 70 = 330 points on the second try. The total number of points that Homer scored in the game after two tries are 400 + 330 = 730. On the third try of the Candy crush game, Homer scored twice the number of points she scored on the second try, a total of 2 * 330 = 660 points. In all the tries of the game, Homer scored 660 + 730 = 1390 points. The answer is 1390.

[Question]The bowl of fruit contains apples, pears, and bananas. There are two more pears than apples, and three more bananas than pears. If the bowl contains 19 pieces of fruit, how many bananas does it contain?
[Answer]Let A be the number of apples. There are A + 2 pears. There are (A + 2) + 3 pears. Then A + (A + 2) + ((A + 2) + 3) = 19. 3A + 7 = 19. 3A = 12. A = 4. There are 4 apples. There are (4 + 2) + 3 = 9 bananas. The answer is 9.
