Answer the following question.
Based on a 2008 study, children 6–11 years old spend 45 minutes each day watching television. How many hours do these children watch television in 2 weeks if they are allowed to watch television 4 days a week?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The children watch a total of 45 x 4 = 180 minutes in a week. In hours, this is equal to 180 / 60 = 3 hours a week. Thus, these children watch 3 x 2 = 6 hours in two weeks.
The answer is 6.

Answer the following question.
There are 25 different layers of rock in a canyon’s strata. Five of the layers are limestone. Half of the rest are sandstone. Four of the remaining are quartz. Half of the rest are shale. The rest are all different kinds of rock. How many kinds of rock make up only one layer in the canyon’s strata?
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 25 - 5 = 20 layers of rock that are not limestone. Half of those 20 are sandstone, so there are 20 / 2 = 10 that are not limestone or sandstone. Four of those are quartz, so 10 - 4 = 6 layers are not limestone, sandstone, or quartz. Half of the rest are shale, so 6 / 2 = 3 kinds of rock remain that make up only one layer in the strata.
The answer is 3.

Answer the following question.
Bobby needs to buy a new pair of fancy shoes. He decides to go to a cobbler and get them handmade. The cobbler charges $250 to make the mold. He then charges $75 an hour for 8 hours to make the shoes. The cobbler agrees to only charge 80% of the cost for work to make the shoes, since it is his first pair of shoes. How much did Bobby pay?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The cost of labor is 75 * 8 = $600. So Bobby pays 600 * .8 = $480. So that means Bobby pays 480 + 250 = $730.
The answer is 730.

Step-by-step reasoning process: 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.
