On Saturday, he threw the ball 20 times, and since the temperature was 50 degrees, he could throw only 20 yards, totaling 20 * 20 = 400 yards. On Sunday, the temperature favored him, and he threw the ball twice the distance he could throw on Saturday, which is 2 * 20 = 40 yards. If he threw the ball 30 times, he threw for 30 * 40 = 1200 yards. In the two days, he threw 1200 + 400 = 1600 yards.
The answer: 1600
Reverse engineering the question: Peyton Manning throws a football 20 yards when the temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but the ball moves twice as far when the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Last Saturday, the temperature was 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and he threw the ball twenty times. On Sunday, the temperature rose to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and he threw the ball 30 times. Calculate the total number of yards he threw the ball in the two days.


Reasoning and answer: He has a 14 - hour trip and wants to stop every 2 hours so that's 14 / 2 = 7 pit stops. He will make 7 pit stops plus 2 more for food and 3 more for gas for a total of 7 + 2 + 3 = 12 pit stops. Each pit stop will take 20 minutes and he is making 12 stops so that's 20 * 12 = 240 minutes. 60 minutes are in an hour and he's adding 240 minutes to his trip so that's 240 / 60 = 4 more hours. His trip started as 14 hours and he will add an additional 4 hours in pit stops for a total of a 14 + 4 = 18 hour long trip.
The answer: 18

Question: Carter has a 14-hour road trip. He wants to stop every 2 hours to stretch his legs. He also wants to make 2 additional stops for food and 3 additional stops for gas. If each pit stop takes 20 minutes, how many hours will his road trip become?


Mikaela spent 35 + 5 = 40 hours in the second month. So, she tutored a total of 35 + 40 = 75 hours for the first two months. Thus, her total earning was 75 x $10 = $750. And, her total expenses was 4 / 5 x $750 = $600. Therefore, she saved an amount of $750 - $600 = $150.
The answer: 150
Reverse engineering the question: Mikaela earns $10 an hour tutoring. For the first month, she tutored for 35 hours and in the second month, she tutored 5 hours more than the first month. She spent 4/5 of her total earnings on her personal needs and saved the rest of the money. How much did she save?


Reasoning and answer: The traveler’s camel drank 7 * 32 = 224 ounces of water. Together, the traveler and his camel drank 32 + 224 = 256 ounces. Thus, they drank 256 / 128 = 2 gallons of water altogether.
The answer: 2

Question: A thirsty traveler found an oasis in the desert. He drank 32 ounces of water. His camel drank seven times as much as he did. There are 128 ounces in a gallon. How many gallons of water did they drink altogether?


The number of blocks traveled on the way to the post office was 5 + 20 = 25. Pete traveled 25 × 2 = 50 blocks in all.
The answer: 50
Reverse engineering the question: Pete walked 5 blocks from his house to the bus garage in Houston. He rode the bus 20 blocks to the post office to get some stamps. Later, he came home the same way. How many blocks did Pete travel in all?


Jerome rides a total of 12 x 12 = 144 miles in 12 days. So, he will ride 150 - 144 = 6 miles on the 13th day to finish his goal.
