Question: Martha has 20 apples. She decided to split them among her friends. Jane got 5 apples from her, and James got 2 more than Jane. How many more apples would Martha need to give away to be left with only 4 of them?
Answer: Martha gave James 5 + 2 = 7 apples. So Martha was left with 20 - 5 - 7 = 8 apples. To be left with only 4 apples, Martha would need to give away 8 - 4 = 4 more apples. The answer is 4.

Question: Gumball was counting his water intake for the previous week. He checked his list and saw that he had drank 60 liters of water for the week. He drank nine liters of water on Monday, Thursday and Saturday and 8 liters of water on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Unfortunately, no data was input on Wednesday. How many liters of water did he drink on Wednesday?
Answer: Gumball's total water intake on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday is 9 x 3 = 27 liters. And his total water intake on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday is 8 x 3 = 24 liters. So his total water intake for 6 days is 24 + 27 = 51 liters. Therefore Gumball's water intake on Wednesday is 60 - 51 = 9 liters. The answer is 9.

Question: Remi wants to drink more water. He has a refillable water bottle that holds 20 ounces of water. That week Remi refills the bottle 3 times a day and drinks the whole bottle each time except for twice when he accidentally spills 5 ounces the first time and 8 ounces the second time. In 7 days how many ounces of water does Remi drink?
Answer: Remi drinks the same amount of water every day for a week except for when he spills some of it. His water bottle holds 20 ounces which he drinks 3 times a day, 20 x 3 = 60 ounces a typical day. Over 7 days, without spilling anything, Remi drinks 60 ounces x 7 days = 420 ounces. Except Remi spills 8 + 5 ounces of water during the week = 13 ounces of water Remi spills. Total, Remi drinks 420 ounces - 13 ounces of spilled water = 407 ounces Remi drank during the week. The answer is 407.

Question: There are 56 pieces of fruit in a box. One-fourth of the box contains oranges. There are half as many peaches as oranges and five times as many apples as peaches. How many apples are in the box?
