Reasoning and answer: It will take 1.5 days x 2 = 3 days to explore 2 islands. So, the pirates will walk 20 miles x 3 days = 60 miles to explore two islands. The other 2 islands will be explored by walking 25 miles x 3 days = 75 miles. Thus, the pirates will need to walk 60 + 75 = 135 miles to explore the 4 islands.
The answer: 135

One - quarter of 24 action figures is 24 * (1 / 4) = 6. She sold off 6 action figures so she has 24 - 6 = 18 left. One - third of 18 is 18 * (1 / 3) = 6. She gave out 6 so she has 18 - 6 = 12 left.
The answer: 12

Reasoning and answer: Roxy's flowering plant count is 7. Her fruiting plant count is 7 x 2 = 14. On Saturday, her flowering plant count is 7 + 3 = 10. On Saturday, her fruiting plant count is 14 + 2 = 16. On Sunday, her flowering plant count is 10 - 1 = 9. On Sunday, her fruiting plant count is 16 - 4 = 12. Roxy's remaining plant count in her garden is 9 + 12 = 21.
The answer: 21

In the first two hours, Keenan writes 800 words because 400 * 2 = 800. After that, she still needs to write 400 words because 1200 - 800 = 400. Since she writes 200 words per hour, she will take 2 hours to write the last 400 words because 400 / 200 = 2. Thus, she needs to start 4 hours before the deadline because 2 + 2 = 4.
The answer: 4
Reverse engineering the question: Keenan needs to write an essay that is 1200 words. Her essay is due at midnight. She writes 400 words per hour for the first two hours. After that, she writes 200 words per hour. How many hours before the deadline does she need to start to finish on time?
Reasoning and answer: The rares cost 19 * 1 = $19. The uncommon cards cost 11 * .5 = $5.5. The commons cost 30 * .25 = $7.5. So the total cost 19 + 5.5 + 7.5 = $32.
The answer: 32

Reasoning and answer: For the first year, Joseph will have invested $1000 + ($100 * 12) = $2200. The interest calculated for the first year will be $2200 * 10% = $220. The total value of the investment for the first year will be $2200 + $220 = $2420. For the second year, the total invested will be $2420 + ($100 * 12) = $3620. The interest calculated after the second year will be $3620 * 10% = $362. Therefore, Joseph's investment in the mutual fund will be worth $3620 + $362 = $3982.
The answer: 3982
