Question: Dave breaks 2 guitar strings per night when playing live. If he performs 6 shows a week for 12 weeks, how many guitar strings will he need to replace?
Answer: He breaks 2 strings a night for 6 nights for a total of 2 * 6 = 12 broken strings. He breaks 12 strings per week so over 12 weeks, he will need to replace 12 * 12 = 144 guitar strings. The answer is 144.

Question: Ken, Dave, and Jerry played shuffleboard against one another while together vacationing in Florida. Ken won 5 more games than Dave, and Dave won 3 more games than Jerry. If Jerry won 7 games, what was the total number of games they played?
Answer: If Dave won 3 more games than Jerry, and Jerry won 7 games, then Dave won 10 games. If Ken won 5 more games than Dave, and Dave won 10 games, then Ken won 10 + 5 = 15 games. In total, the three friends played 7 + 10 + 15 = 32 games. The answer is 32.

Question: 1/3 of the townspeople have received the full COVID vaccine. 1/3 are immune because they already recovered from COVID. If 1/6 of the townspeople are both vaccinated and already had COVID, what percent of the town is immune in some way?
Answer: First add the fractions of vaccinated and recovered townspeople: 1 / 3 + 1 / 3 = 2 / 3. Then you need to subtract the fraction that are both vaccinated and recovered, since they were double - counted. To do this, start by converting 2 / 3 to the same denominator as 1 / 6: 2 / 3 * 2 / 2 = 4 / 6. Then subtract 1 / 6 from 4 / 6: 4 / 6 - 1 / 6 = 3 / 6. Then divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 3 / 6 * 100% = 50%. The answer is 50.

Question: Carla's teacher tells her that she needs to collect 30 leaves and 20 bugs for a project that's due in 10 days. How many items does Carla need to collect each day if she always wants to collect the same daily amount?
Answer:
First find the total number of items Carla needs to find by adding the number of leaves to the number of bugs: 30 leaves + 20 bugs = 50 items. Now divide the total number of items by the number of days Carla has to do her assignment to find the daily collection amount: 50 items / 10 days = 5 items / day. The answer is 5.
