[Question]If you take the fastest speed of a rabbit and double it, add 4 to that then double it again you get 188. How fast is the rabbit?
[Answer]You doubled a number to get 188 so in reverse, you would divide by 2 so 188 / 2 = 94. You added 4 to this number and in reverse, you would subtract by 4 so 94 - 4 = 90. You doubled a number to get 90 so in reverse you would divide by 2 so 90 / 2 = 45 is the fastest speed. The answer is 45.
Q: Hannah has three brothers. Her brothers are all 8 years old. How old is Hannah if she is twice as old as the sum of her brother's ages?
A: The total of Hannah's brothers' ages is 3 * 8 = 24. Hannah is twice as old as the total of her brothers' ages, so Hannah is 24 * 2 = 48 years old. The answer is 48.
Question: Tom fills a 250 pound sandbag 80% full. But the filling material he is using is 40% heavier than sand. How much does the bag weigh?
Answer: The bag full of sand would weigh 250 * .8 = 200 pounds. The filling material would make it 200 * .4 = 80 pounds heavier. So it weighs 200 + 80 = 280 pounds. The answer is 280.

[Answer]Shyne can grow 14 x 4 = 56 eggplants. She can grow 10 x 6 = 60 sunflowers. So, she can grow a total of 56 + 60 = 116 plants in her backyard. The answer is 116.
Q: Dave weighs 175 pounds and can bench press three times his body weight. Craig can only bench press 20% of the amount Dave can. Mark is new and can bench press 50 pounds less than Craig. How much can Mark bench press?
A: Dave weighs 175 pounds and can bench press three times his body weight, so he can bench press 175 * 3 = 525 pounds. Craig can only bench press 20% of Dave's 525 pounds, so Craig can bench press .20 * 525 = 105 pounds. Craig bench presses 105 pounds and Mark does 50 pounds less than Craig, so Mark can only press 105 - 50 = 55 pounds. The answer is 55.
Question: Quinton is looking to add 4 fruit trees to his backyard. He wants to plant 2 apple trees that will be 10 feet wide each and need 12 feet between them. The peach trees will be closer to the house and will grow to be 12 feet wide and will need 15 feet between each tree. All told, how much space will these trees take up in his yard?
Answer:
Both apple trees will be 10 feet wide at maturity so they will be 2 * 10 = 20 feet wide. Quinton will need to leave 12 feet between these 2 trees so the apple trees will take up 20 + 12 = 32 feet. Both peach trees will be 12 feet wide at maturity so they will be 2 * 12 = 24 feet wide. Quinton will need to leave 15 feet between these 2 trees so the peach trees will take up 24 + 15 = 39 feet. Together, the apple trees will take up 32 feet and the peach trees will take up 39 feet so they will take 32 + 39 = 71 feet. The answer is 71.
