Question and rationale: The question is: 3 cloves of garlic can repel 2 vampires, 8 vampire bats or 3 wights. How many cloves of garlic are needed to repel 30 vampires, 12 wights and 40 vampire bats?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the total number of cloves needed to repel the vampires: 30 vampires * 3 cloves / 2 vampires = 45 cloves. Then find the total number of cloves needed to repel the wights: 12 wights * 3 cloves / 3 wights = 12 cloves. Then find the total number of cloves needed to repel the vampire bats: 40 vampire bats * 3 cloves / 8 vampire bats = 15 cloves. Then add up these three amounts to find the total number of cloves needed: 45 cloves + 12 cloves + 15 cloves = 72 cloves.

Question and rationale: The question is: Kiaan is doing home delivery of newspapers in his neighborhood of 200 homes. After an hour of work, he has distributed newspapers to 2/5 of the homes. After another 2 hours of working, he realizes he has distributed newspapers to 60 percent of the remaining homes. How many homes does he still need to distribute the newspapers to?
Step-by-step reasoning process: After the first hour of work, he has distributed newspapers to 2 / 5 * 200 = 80 homes. The number of homes that still need newspapers is 200 - 80 = 120. Two hours later, the number of homes he has distributed newspapers to is 60 / 100 * 120 = 72 homes. The number of homes he still needs to distribute newspapers to is 120 - 72 = 48 homes.

The question is: John has 2 hives of bees. One of the hives has 1000 bees and produces 500 liters of honey. The second has 20% fewer bees but each bee produces 40% more honey. How much honey does he produce?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The second hive has 20 / 100 * 1000 = 200 fewer bees. This translates to 1000 - 200 = 800 bees. Each bee in the first hive produces 1000 / 500 = 2 liters. The second hive has bees each producing 1.4 * 2 = 2.8 liters. The total amount of honey produces by the bees in the second hive is 2.8 * 700 = 1960. The total honey produced is 1960 + 500 = 2460 liters.
