Question: Jonsey is awake for 2/3 of the day and spends 1/2 her time awake playing outside and the rest inside. Her brother, Riley, is awake for 3/4 of the day and spends 1/3 of his day outside and the rest inside. How much time, on average, do they spend inside?
Answer: Jonsey is awake for 16 hours because 24 x (2 / 3) = 16. Jonsey spends 1 / 2 her day inside because 1 - (1 / 2) = 1 / 2. Jonsey spend 8 hours inside because 16 x (1 / 2) = 8. Riley is awake for 18 hours because 24 x (3 / 4) = 18. Riley spends 2 / 3 of his day inside because 1 - (1 / 3) = 2 / 3. Riley spends 12 hours inside because 18 x (2 / 3) = 12. In total they spend 20 hours inside because 8 + 12 = 20. On average, they spend 10 hours inside because 20 / 2 = 10. The answer is 10.
[Question]Boston had .5 feet of snow on the first day of winter. The next day they got an additional 8 inches. Over the next 2 days, 2 inches of the snow melted. On the fifth day, they received another 2 times the amount of snow they received on the first day. How many feet of snow do they now have?
[Answer]12 inches is 1 foot and they received a .5 foot of snow on the first day so they received 12 * .5 = 6 inches of snow. The first day they had 6 inches and then received another 8 inches for a total of 6 + 8 = 14 inches. 2 inches melted from their 14 inches so that leaves 14 - 2 = 12 inches of snow. They received 2 times the amount as the first day's 6 inches of snow so that's 2 * 6 = 12 inches of snow. So they had 12 inches of snow and received another 12 inches of snow for a total of 12 + 12 = 24 inches. 12 inches is 1 foot and they have 24 inches of snow so they have 24 / 12 = 2 feet of snow. The answer is 2.
Q: Part of Stella's job is to restock the toilet paper in each of the 6 bathrooms at the bed and breakfast. She stocks 1 roll a day, every day of the week. She buys the toilet paper in bulk, and each pack contains 1 dozen rolls. After 4 weeks, how many packs of toilet paper dozen Stella buy?
A: She stocks one roll in each of the 6 bathrooms, every day of the week so that 6 * 7 = 42 rolls a week. She restocks 42 rolls a week so after 4 weeks that's 42 * 4 = 168 rolls. The bulk toilet paper comes 1 dozen rolls in a pack and she needs 168 rolls so she needs 168 / 12 = 14 dozen. The answer is 14.
Question: Logan makes $65,000 a year. He spends $20,000 on rent every year, $5000 on groceries every year, and $8000 on gas every year. If he wants to have at least $42000 left, how much more money must he make each year?
Answer: Logan spends 20000 + 5000 + 8000 = 33000 a year. Logan has 65000 - 33000 = 32000 left a year. Logan needs to make 42000 - 32000 = 10000 more a year. The answer is 10000.

Matilda and her sisters each got 20 chocolate bars / 5 people = 4 chocolate bars / person. They each gave 4 / person / 2 = 2 chocolate bars / person to their father. Their father received 2 chocolate bars / person x 5 people = 10 chocolate bars. Their father had 10 chocolate bars - 3 chocolate bars - 2 chocolate bars = 5 chocolate bars left. The answer is 5.
