Question: Jessica is making an apple pie. She knows that each serving requires 1.5 apples and she has 12 quests. She plans to make 3 pies, which each contain 8 servings. If her guests finish all the pie, on average , how many apples does each guest eat?
Answer: She is making 24 servings because 3 x 8 = 24. Each guest has 2 servings because 24 / 12 = 2. Each guest has 3 apples because 2 x 1.5 = 3. The answer is 3.

Question: Roberto is out for a hike. He travels uphill at 2 MPH and downhill at 3MPH. The trail is 5 miles long. 60% is uphill and the rest is downhill. How long does it take him to complete it in minutes?
Answer: There is 3 miles uphill because 5 x .6 = 3. This takes him 1.5 hours because 3 / 2 = 1.5. This takes him 90 minutes because 1.5 x 60 = 90. 40% of the trail is downhill because 100 - 60 = 40. There are 2 miles of downhill because 5 x .4 = 2. This takes him 2 / 3 of an hour because 2 / 3 = (2 / 3). This takes him 40 minutes because 60 x (2 / 3) = 40. It takes him 130 minutes in total because 90 + 40 = 130. The answer is 130.

Question: Robie bought 3 bags of chocolates. She gave the 2 bags to her brothers and sisters then bought another 3 bags. How many bags of chocolates were left?
Answer: She was left with 3 - 2 = 1 bag of chocolate after she gave 2 bags to her brother and sisters. Therefore, the total number of bags of chocolates left after buying another 3 is 1 + 3 = 4. The answer is 4.

8 gallons of water added during the first hour. 10 gallons of water added during the second hour. 10 gallons of water added during the third hour. 14 gallons of water added during the fourth hour. The total gallons of water added by the fourth hour is 8 + 10 + 10 + 14 = 42. The number of gallons in the pool after losing 8 gallons in the fifth hour is 42 - 8 = 34. The answer is 34.
