[Question]John has 25 horses. He feeds each horse twice a day and feeds them 20 pounds of food at each feeding. He buys half ton bags of food. How many of those will he have to buy in 60 days?
[Answer]He feeds each horse 2 * 20 = 40 pounds of food a day. So he uses 40 * 25 = 1000 pounds of food a day. That means in 60 days he uses 60 * 1000 = 60000 pounds of food. Each bag of food is 2000 * .5 = 1000 pounds. So he needs to buy 60000 / 1000 = 60 bags of food. The answer is 60.
Q: Carly recently graduated and is looking for work in a field she studied for. She sent 200 job applications to companies in her state, and twice that number to companies in other states. Calculate the total number of job applications she has sent so far.
A: If she sent 200 job applications to her state, she sent 200 * 2 = 400 job applications to other states. The total number of job applications she has sent is 400 + 200 = 600. The answer is 600.
Question: A snail kite is a kind of bird that eats apple snails. On the first day, a snail kite ate 3 snails. Then it eats 2 more snails than it did the day before. How many apple snails in all did a snail kite eat for 5 days?
Answer: On the second day, the snail kite ate 3 + 2 = 5 apple snails. On the third day, the snail kite ate 5 + 2 = 7 apple snails. On the fourth day, the snail kite ate 7 + 2 = 9 apple snails. On the fifth day, the snail kite ate 9 + 2 = 11 apple snails. The snail kite ate a total of 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = 35 apple snails in 5. days. The answer is 35.
[Question]If 3 crows eat 30 worms in one hour, how many worms will 5 crows eat in 2 hours?
[Answer]If 3 crows eat 30 worms in one hour, then each crow eats 30 / 3 = 10 worms per hour. 5 crows will eat 5 * 10 = 50 worms per hour. Over two hours, 5 crows will eat 2 * 50 = 100 worms. The answer is 100.

Ann had 3 dozen oatmeal cookies - 2 dozen = 1 dozen oatmeal cookies left. Ann had 2 dozen sugar cookies - 1.5 dozen = .5 dozen sugar cookies left. Ann had 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies - 2.5 dozen = 1.5 dozen chocolate chip cookies left. Ann has a total of 1 + .5 + 1.5 dozen cookies = 3 dozen cookies. 3 dozen cookies is 3 * 12 cookies = 36 cookies remaining. The answer is 36.
