Teddy is a pillow-maker. He uses 3 less than 5 pounds of fluffy foam material to make each pillow. If Teddy has three tons of fluffy foam material, how many pillows can he make?
Step-by-step reasoning process below:
3000
Three less than 5 is 5 - 3 = 2.

Since one ton is 2000 pounds, three tons is 2000 * 3 = 6000 pounds.

Thus, in 6000 pounds, he can make 6000 / 2 = 3000 pillows.

.

The answer: 3000
