[Question]: Travis and his brother joined a trick-or-treat event. They collected 68 pieces of candy altogether. Each of them ate 4 pieces of candy after the event. How many pieces of candy were left?
[Answer]: They ate a total of 4 x 2 = 8 pieces of candy after the event. So, Travis and his brother have 68 - 8 = 60 pieces of candy left.
So the answer is 60.

[Question]: Jesse and Mia are competing in a week long race. They have one week to run 30 miles. On the first three days Jesse averages (2/3) of a mile. On day four she runs 10 miles. Mia averages 3 miles a day over the first 4 days. What is the average of their average that they have to run over the final three days?
[Answer]: Jesse runs 2 miles in the first three days because 3 x (2 / 3) = 2. Jesse has 18 miles left to run because 30 - 10 - 2 = 18. Jesse has to run an average of 6 miles a day because 18 / 3 = 6. Mia runs 12 miles over the first four days because 4 x 3 = 12. She has 18 miles left to run because 30 - 12 = 18. She has to run six miles a day because 18 / 3 = 6. The total they both have to run is 12 miles a day. The average they have to run per day on average is 6 miles because 12 / 2 = 6.
So the answer is 6.

[Question]: Janet has a business selling custom collars for dogs and cats. If it takes 18 inches of nylon to make a dog collar and 10 inches to make a cat collar, how much nylon does she need to make 9 dog collars and 3 cat collars?
[Answer]:
First find the total number of inches of nylon used for the dog collars: 18 inches / dog collar * 9 dog collars = 162 inches. Then find the total number of inches of nylon used for the cat collars: 10 inches / cat collar * 3 cat collars = 30 inches. Then add the nylon needed for the cat and dog collars to find the total amount needed: 162 inches + 30 inches = 192 inches.
So the answer is 192.
