A: Including Carl, there will be 15 + 1 = 16 people at the party. Carl would like each person to be able to have 2 cups x 12 ounces = 24 ounces of punch. Carl needs to buy 16 x 24 = 384 ounces of punch. The answer is 384.
Question: Ralph is a member of the cross-country relay team. There are four other members on the team who run 3 km to complete their part of the race. Ralph runs twice as much as any member on his team to complete his part of the race. How long is the race?
Answer: 4 team members each run 3 km, so 4 x 3 = 12 km. Ralph runs twice as much as any team member and since team members each run 3 km, Ralph runs 2 x 3 km = 6 km. The length of the race is 6 km run by Ralph + 12 km run by the rest of the team = 18 km. The answer is 18.
[Question]John eats 10 potato chips that have a total of 60 calories. He then eats 6 cheezits that each have 1/3 more calories than a chip. How many total calories did he eat?
[Answer]The chips each have 60 / 10 = 6 calories. That means the cheezits have 6 / 3 = 2 calories more than each chip. So they have 6 + 2 = 8 calories each. That means they have 6 * 8 = 48 total calories. So in total, he ate 60 + 48 = 108 calories. The answer is 108.
Q: Amy is building 2 3 ft long by 3 ft wide garden beds and 2 4ft long by 3 ft wide garden beds. What is the total sq ft of growing space that she will have?
A: The first bed is 3 feet long by 3 feet wide so it's 3 * 3 = 9 sq ft. She's building 2 beds that are this size so that's 2 * 9 = 18 sq ft of growing space. The second bed is 4 feet long by 3 feet wide so it's 4 * 3 = 12 sq ft. She's building 2 beds that are this size so that's 2 * 12 = 24 sq ft of growing space. The smaller beds are 18 sq ft and the larger beds are 24 sq ft for a total of 18 + 24 = 42 sq ft of growing space. The answer is 42.
Question: Mary has a mystery book library. She started with 72 mystery books at the beginning of the year. She joined a book club that sent her 1 book each month of the year. She went to a bookstore halfway through the year and bought 5 more books, then bought 2 books at yard sales later. Her daughter gave her another book for her birthday, and her mother gave her a series of 4 books when Mary visited her. She donated 12 books she didn't want to read again to a charity shop and sold 3 to a used book store. How many books did she have at the end of the year?
Answer: Mary got 1 * 12 = 12 books from the book club. She bought 5 + 2 = 7 books. She was given 1 + 4 = 5 books. She got rid of 12 + 3 = 15 books. Thus, at the end of the year she had 72 + 12 + 7 + 5 - 15 = 81 books. The answer is 81.
Q: Bobby has an aquarium with twice as many fish as Sarah's has. Sarah has 5 more fish in her aquarium than Tony does. Tony has 3 times as many fish in his aquarium as Billy does. Billy has 10 fish. How many fish do all 4 people have put together?
A:
Since Tony has 3 times as many fish as Billy's 10, that means Tony has 3 * 10 = 30 fish. Sarah has 5 more fish than Tony's 30, meaning she has 5 + 30 = 35 fish. Bobby has twice as many fish as Sarah does, meaning he has 35 * 2 = 70 fish. Therefore, altogether there are 10 + 30 + 35 + 70 = 145 fish. The answer is 145.

Answer: 4 team members each run 3 km, so 4 x 3 = 12 km. Ralph runs twice as much as any team member and since team members each run 3 km, Ralph runs 2 x 3 km = 6 km. The length of the race is 6 km run by Ralph + 12 km run by the rest of the team = 18 km. The answer is 18.
[Question]John eats 10 potato chips that have a total of 60 calories. He then eats 6 cheezits that each have 1/3 more calories than a chip. How many total calories did he eat?
[Answer]The chips each have 60 / 10 = 6 calories. That means the cheezits have 6 / 3 = 2 calories more than each chip. So they have 6 + 2 = 8 calories each. That means they have 6 * 8 = 48 total calories. So in total, he ate 60 + 48 = 108 calories. The answer is 108.
Q: Amy is building 2 3 ft long by 3 ft wide garden beds and 2 4ft long by 3 ft wide garden beds. What is the total sq ft of growing space that she will have?
A: The first bed is 3 feet long by 3 feet wide so it's 3 * 3 = 9 sq ft. She's building 2 beds that are this size so that's 2 * 9 = 18 sq ft of growing space. The second bed is 4 feet long by 3 feet wide so it's 4 * 3 = 12 sq ft. She's building 2 beds that are this size so that's 2 * 12 = 24 sq ft of growing space. The smaller beds are 18 sq ft and the larger beds are 24 sq ft for a total of 18 + 24 = 42 sq ft of growing space. The answer is 42.

Since Tony has 3 times as many fish as Billy's 10, that means Tony has 3 * 10 = 30 fish. Sarah has 5 more fish than Tony's 30, meaning she has 5 + 30 = 35 fish. Bobby has twice as many fish as Sarah does, meaning he has 35 * 2 = 70 fish. Therefore, altogether there are 10 + 30 + 35 + 70 = 145 fish. The answer is 145.

Q: Bobby has an aquarium with twice as many fish as Sarah's has. Sarah has 5 more fish in her aquarium than Tony does. Tony has 3 times as many fish in his aquarium as Billy does. Billy has 10 fish. How many fish do all 4 people have put together?
A:

Bobby has twice as many fish as Sarah does, meaning he has 35 * 2 = 70 fish. Therefore, altogether there are 10 + 30 + 35 + 70 = 145 fish. The answer is 145.
