🔗 Problem

Problem: In their game, Kyle threw a ball for a distance of 18/4 yards, while Lisa threw the same ball for a distance of 19/9 yards. How many yards did the ball travel in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  First find the sum of the two fractions: 18/4 + 19/9
The two fractions have unlike denominators so we must find a common denominator. The least common denominator for 4 and 9 is 36.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction 18/4 by 9/9 to get (18*9)/(4*9) = 162/36.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the second fraction 19/9 by 4/4 to get (19*4)/(9*4) = 76/36.
Now we can add the two fractions: 162/36 + 76/36 = 238/36
Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, 2: 238/2 = 119 and 36/2 = 18, so 238/36 = 119/18
This is an improper fraction, so convert to a mixed number: 119/18 = 6 11/18
### Answer: 6 11/18 yards

Expected answer: 119/18

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After both Kyle and Lisa's throws, the ball bounced an additional 3/13 yards. Subtract this distance from the total distance the ball traveled when Kyle and Lisa threw it. What is the remaining distance?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to subtract 3/13 yards from the total distance the ball traveled when Kyle and Lisa threw it, which is 6 11/18 yards.

First, convert the mixed number 6 11/18 to a fraction: 
(6 * 18 + 11) / 18 = 119/18.

Now, find a common denominator for 18 and 13, which is 234.

Convert 119/18 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 234:
(119 * 13) / (18 * 13) = 1547/234

Convert 3/13 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 234:
(3 * 18) / (13 * 18) = 54/234

Finally, subtract the two fractions:
1547/234 - 54/234 = 1493/234

Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 1: 1493/234

Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number: 1493/234 = 6 89/234

### Answer: 6 89/234 yards

Expected answer: 1493/234

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: In their game, suppose that Kyle actually threw the ball for a distance of 15/4 yards, while Lisa still threw the ball for 19/9 yards. How many yards did the ball travel in total now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to calculate 15/4 + 19/9.
The fractions have unlike denominators, so we find a common denominator. The least common denominator for 4 and 9 is 36.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 15/4 by 9/9 to get (15*9)/(4*9) = 135/36.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 19/9 by 4/4 to get (19*4)/(9*4) = 76/36.
Now we can add the fractions: 135/36 + 76/36 = 211/36.
Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number: 211/36 = 5 31/36
### Answer: 5 31/36 yards 

Expected answer: 211/36

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: Johnnie the monkey was given 18/7 bananas by the zookeeper in the morning, and 12/14 bananas in the afternoon. In total, how many bananas were given to Johnnie the monkey?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To determine the total number of bananas given to Johnnie, we need to add the number of bananas he received in the morning to the number he received in the afternoon. This requires us to find the sum of two fractions. 

First, find a common denominator for the two fractions: the least common multiple of 7 and 14 is 14.  To get a denominator of 14 for the first fraction, multiply both numerator and denominator by 2: (18/7) = (18*2)/(7*2) = 36/14. The second fraction already has the denominator of 14: 12/14.

Now, we can add the two fractions: 36/14 + 12/14 = (36+12)/14 = 48/14

The resulting fraction can be simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:  (48/14) = (48/2) / (14/2) = 24/7

### Answer: 24/7 bananas

Expected answer: 24/7

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: In addition to the bananas given to Johnnie the monkey in the morning and afternoon, the zookeeper decides to give Johnnie the same total amount of bananas the next day. How many bananas in total did Johnnie the monkey receive over these two days?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  We know Johnnie received 24/7 bananas over the course of the first day.  Since he receives the same amount on the second day, we need to add the two-day totals together. This can be represented as (24/7) + (24/7).

Since the two fractions already share a common denominator, we simply add the numerators: (24+24)/7 = 48/7 

### Answer: 48/7 bananas 

Expected answer: 48/7

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: The bottom of a door measures 4/19 inches from the floor, and the top of the door measures 9/10 inches from the ceiling. What is the total distance of the bottom and top of the door from the floor and ceiling, respectively?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

To find the total distance, we need to add the distance from the bottom of the door to the floor and the distance from the top of the door to the ceiling: 4/19 inches + 9/10 inches

To add fractions, they must have a common denominator.  The least common denominator for 19 and 10 is 190. 

(4/19)*(10/10) + (9/10)*(19/19) = 40/190 + 171/190 = 211/190

### Answer: 211/190 inches 

Expected answer: 211/190

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: If we consider the distance from the floor and ceiling for both the front and back doors, which have the same measurements as the original door, what is the total distance considering the bottoms and tops of both doors from the floor and ceiling respectively?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Since both the front and back doors have the same measurements, the total distance for both doors is simply double the distance of one door.

We previously found the total distance for one door to be 211/190 inches.

Therefore, the total distance for both doors is (211/190 inches) * 2 = 422/190 inches

This can be simplified to 211/95 inches

### Answer: 211/95 inches 

Expected answer: 211/95

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: If we reconsider the original scenario with the bottom of a door measuring 4/16 inches from the floor instead of 4/19 inches, and the top still measuring 9/10 inches from the ceiling, what is the new total distance of the bottom and top of the door from the floor and ceiling, respectively?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

We will follow the same process as before, but now with the bottom of the door being 4/16 of an inch from the floor.

First, we add the two distances: 4/16 inches + 9/10 inches

Next, we find a common denominator. The least common denominator for 16 and 10 is 80.

We convert each fraction to have a denominator of 80:
(4/16)*(5/5) + (9/10)*(8/8) = 20/80 + 72/80

Finally, we add the two fractions: 20/80 + 72/80 = 92/80

This fraction can be simplified to 23/20

### Answer: 23/20 inches 

Expected answer: 23/20

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: Ralph's juice recipe requires 17/3 liters of apple juice. However, he only uses 15/11 liters of it. How many liters of apple juice are left unused?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Let's find the difference: 17/3 - 15/11 = (17*11)/(3*11) - (15*3)/(11*3) = 187/33 - 45/33 = 142/33 liters.
### Answer: 142/33 liters 

Expected answer: 142/33

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After finishing his juice recipe, Ralph decides to add an additional 3/18 liters of apple juice to the mix. How many liters of unused apple juice are left now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First we need to simplify 3/18 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3: 3/18 = 1/6.
Then we subtract the extra juice from the unused portion: 142/33 - 1/6 = (142*2)/(33*2) - (1*11)/(6*11) = 284/66 - 11/66 = 273/66 liters. 
We can further simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3: 273/66 = 91/22 liters.
### Answer: 91/22 liters

Expected answer: 91/22

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: If Ralph had initially started with 17/3 liters of apple juice but had only used 14/11 liters, how many liters of apple juice would he have left unused then?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Let's calculate the difference: 17/3 - 14/11 = (17*11)/(3*11) - (14*3)/(11*3) = 187/33 - 42/33 = 145/33 liters. 
### Answer: 145/33 liters 

Expected answer: 145/33

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: Billy is trying to roller skate in an empty parking lot. He initially travels 4 miles, but rolls back for 17/20 of a mile after spotting a pothole. How many miles did he ultimately travel forward?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Billy traveled 17/20 = <<17/20=0.85>>0.85 miles back. 
That means he traveled a total of 4-0.85 = <<4-0.85=3.15>>3.15 miles forward.
### Answer: 3.15 miles

Expected answer: 63/20

Correct? No

🔗 Problem

Problem: A rocket was launched into orbit. On the first day, it traveled 15/3 light years. On the second day, it traveled an additional 2/7 light years. How far has the rocket traveled in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To determine the total distance, we need to add the distances traveled on each day. 

First, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions 3 and 7. The least common denominator is 21.
Converting 15/3 to a fraction with a denominator of 21: (15/3) * (7/7) = 105/21
Converting 2/7 to a fraction with a denominator of 21: (2/7) * (3/3) = 6/21

Now, we can add the distances: 105/21 + 6/21 = 111/21

Therefore, the rocket has traveled 111/21 light years in total.
### Answer: 111/21 light years

Expected answer: 37/7

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: In a change of earlier data, it was discovered that the rocket only traveled 15/3 light years on the first day. However, on the second day, it actually covered 18/7 light years instead of 2/7 light years. With this new information, how far has the rocket traveled in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  We need to add the distances traveled on both days, keeping in mind the updated information.

First, we need a common denominator for our fractions. The least common denominator for 3 and 7 is 21.
We convert 15/3 to a fraction with a denominator of 21: (15/3) * (7/7) = 105/21
We also convert 18/7 to a fraction with a denominator of 21: (18/7) * (3/3) = 54/21

Now, we add the two distances: 105/21 + 54/21 = 159/21.

This fraction can be simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3: (159/3) / (21/3) = 53/7. 

Therefore, the rocket has traveled 53/7 light years in total.
### Answer: 53/7 light years

Expected answer: 53/7

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: Captain Silverbeard found 10/13 of a treasure map at one shipwreck site and 16/19 of the same treasure map at another site. What is the total portion of the treasure map that he found?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To add the fractions, they must share a common denominator. The least common denominator is the least common multiple of 13 and 19, which is 247.
10/13 is equivalent to (10 * 19)/(13 * 19) = 190/247
16/19 is equivalent to (16 * 13)/(19 * 13) = 208/247
Adding these two fractions, we get (190 + 208)/247 = 398/247 of the treasure map. 

### Answer: 398/247 

Expected answer: 398/247

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After Captain Silverbeard finds the portions of the treasure map, he discovers another piece on a third site which is 15/17 of the total map. What is the total portion of the treasure map that Captain Silverbeard has now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Captain Silverbeard already has 398/247 of the map.  We need to add 15/17 to this fraction. First, we need to find a common denominator.  The least common multiple of 17 and 247 is 4199.

398/247 is equivalent to (398 * 17) / (247 * 17) = 6766 / 4199
15/17 is equivalent to (15 * 247) / (17 * 247) = 3705 / 4199

Adding these two fractions, we get (6766 + 3705) / 4199 = 10471 / 4199 of the treasure map. This fraction is improper (the numerator is larger than the denominator), meaning Captain Silverbeard has more than one complete map. 

### Answer: 10471/4199 

Expected answer: 10471/4199

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Suppose instead of finding 10/13 of the treasure map at the first shipwreck site, Captain Silverbeard found a larger piece which was 10/9 of the total map. Keeping the second portion from the other shipwreck site the same at 16/19, what is the total portion of the treasure map that he found now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Similar to the previous problem, we need to find a common denominator to add 10/9 and 16/19. The least common denominator for 9 and 19 is their product, 171.

10/9 is equivalent to (10 * 19)/(9 * 19) = 190/171
16/19 is equivalent to (16 * 9)/(19 * 9) = 144/171

Adding these two fractions, we get (190 + 144)/171 = 334/171 of the treasure map.

### Answer: 334/171 

Expected answer: 334/171

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: A hiker decides to walk 9/6 miles North before walking 2/16 miles East. How many miles has the hiker traveled in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the distance the hiker walked North to the distance the hiker walked East. 9/6 + 2/16 = 26/16 miles.
Simplifying the fraction, we get 1 5/8 miles.
### Answer: 1 5/8 miles. 

Expected answer: 13/8

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: In continuation to the previous question, after walking 9/6 miles North and 2/16 miles East, the hiker then decides to continue his journey and walks an additional 8/14 miles South. How many miles has the hiker now traveled in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, we need to figure out the total distance the hiker traveled North and South. We can do this by subtracting the distance traveled South from the distance traveled North: 9/6 miles - 8/14 miles = 39/42 miles.

Simplifying this, we find that the hiker traveled a net distance of 13/14 miles North. 

Next, we add the distance traveled East to the total distance traveled North to find the total distance traveled: 13/14 miles + 2/16 miles = 57/56 miles

Simplifying this, we get 1 1/56 miles

### Answer: 1 1/56 miles

Expected answer: 123/56

Correct? No

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: In opinion to the previous case, imagine if the hiker had initially decided to walk 10/6 miles North instead of 9/6 miles, while keeping the distance walked East unchanged at 2/16 miles. How many miles would the hiker have then traveled in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  We need to add the distance the hiker walked North to the distance the hiker walked East.  First, simplify 2/16 to 1/8.  10/6 + 1/8 = 43/24 miles.
Simplifying the fraction, we get 1 19/24 miles. 
### Answer: 1 19/24 miles.  

Expected answer: 43/24

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: In Jessica's sandbox, she has a pile of sand that is 16/9 cubic feet. She then removes 4/13 cubic feet of sand from the sandbox. How much sand does she have left in her sandbox?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: In order to subtract fractions, they need to have a common denominator. The least common denominator of 9 and 13 is 117. We can see that 117/9 = 13, and 117/13 = 9, so we will multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 13, and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 9. This gives us (16*13)/(9*13) - (4*9)/(13*9) = 208/117 - 36/117.
Now that the fractions have a common denominator, we can subtract them to get 208/117 - 36/117 = 172/117 cubic feet of sand remaining in the sandbox.
### Answer: 172/117 cubic feet. 

Expected answer: 172/117

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Jessica decided to add more sand to her sandbox. She adds an extra 19/15 cubic feet of sand to it. After this, how much sand does she now have in her sandbox?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, we need to find a common denominator between the amount of sand Jessica started with and the amount she added. The least common denominator between 15 and 117 is 585. We get this by noticing that 585/117 = 5 and 585/15 = 39. Therefore, we will multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 5 and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 39. This gives us (172*5)/(117*5) + (19*39)/(15*39) = 860/585 + 741/585.
Now that both fractions share a common denominator, we can add them together to get 860/585 + 741/585 = 1601/585 cubic feet.
### Answer: 1601/585 cubic feet 

Expected answer: 1601/585

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: In our previous scenario, let's say that Jessica initially had a smaller pile of sand that was 16/9 cubic feet. If she still removed 4/8 cubic feet of sand as before, how much sand does she now have left in her sandbox?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, we need to find a common denominator for our two fractions. The least common denominator for 9 and 8 is 72. We can see that 72/9 = 8 and 72/8 = 9, so we will multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 8, and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 9. This gives us (16*8)/(9*8) - (4*9)/(8*9) = 128/72 - 36/72.
Now, we can subtract the two fractions: 128/72 - 36/72 = 92/72
This can be simplified to 23/18.
### Answer: 23/18 cubic feet 

Expected answer: 23/18

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: Jacob has a piece of rope that is 15/12 meters long and he adds a piece that is 17/17 meters long to it. What is the total length of the rope now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 17/17 = <<17/17=1>>1, so Jacob is adding 1 meter of rope.
15/12 + 1 = <<15/12+1=27/12>> 27/12 meters. 
### Answer: 27/12 meters. 

Expected answer: 9/4

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Jacob now wants to double the total length of the rope he has. If Jacob starts with the rope that is ((15 / 12) + (17 / 17)) meters long, and then adds another piece of the same length to it, what will be the total length of the combined ropes?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We know from the previous problem that (15/12 + 17/17) meters is equal to 27/12 meters.
Doubling a number is the same as adding it to itself, so the total length of the combined ropes will be 27/12 + 27/12 = <<27/12+27/12=54/12>>54/12 meters.
### Answer: 54/12 meters. 

Expected answer: 9/2

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Now, suppose Jacob starts with a piece of rope that is 7/12 meters long instead of 15/12 meters. If he still adds the rope piece that is 17/17 meters long to it, what is the total length of the rope now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 17/17 = <<17/17=1>>1, so Jacob is adding 1 meter of rope.
7/12 + 1 = <<7/12+1=19/12>> 19/12 meters. 
### Answer: 19/12 meters. 

Expected answer: 19/12

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 8/8 hours is equal to 1 hour.
Miss Jenny spent 1 + 20/19 =  <<1+20/19=39/19>>39/19 hours grading papers. 
### Answer: 39/19 hours 

Expected answer: 39/19

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After grading papers, Miss Jenny spends an additional 1/12 hours organizing her lesson plans. How long did she spend in total between grading papers and organizing her lesson plans?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the time Miss Jenny spent grading papers (39/19 hours) and the time organizing her lesson plans (1/12 hours).
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator: the least common multiple of 19 and 12 is 228.
We can rewrite 39/19 as (39 * 12)/(19 * 12) = 468/228 and 1/12 as (1 * 19)/(12 * 19) = 19/228. 
Therefore, Miss Jenny spent a total of 468/228 + 19/228 = 487/228 hours. 
### Answer: 487/228 hours

Expected answer: 487/228

Correct? Yes

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Similar to the previous scenario, the final height is the sum of the initial height and the ascension height.
Resultant height = 12/3 + 7/12 =  <<12/3+7/12=55/12>>55/12 kms
### Answer: 55/12 kms

🔗 Problem

Problem: There are 4 logs in a pile that each burn for 1/16 of an hour. The fire burns out and Tom brings 16 twigs, each of which burns for 1/12 of an hour. What is the total burn time for the logs and twigs?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  The logs burn for a total of (1/16)*4 = 1/4 of an hour.
The twigs burn for a total of (1/12)*16 = 4/3 of an hour, which is equal to 1 and 1/3 hours.
Adding the log and twig burn times, we get 1/4 + 1 1/3 = 1 7/12 hours.
### Answer: 1 7/12 hours. 

Expected answer: 19/12

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After the logs and twigs burn out, Tom adds 8 pieces of charcoal, each of which burns for 1/5 of an hour. What is the total burn time for the logs, twigs, and charcoal?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: The charcoal burns for a total of (1/5) * 8 = 8/5 hours. 
Converting 8/5 hours to a mixed number, we get 1 3/5 hours. 
Adding this to the previous burn time, the total burn time is 1 7/12 + 1 3/5 = 3 11/60 hours.

Problem: If Sam's binoculars increase his range of sight by 3/14 of a mile and Joe's binoculars increase his range of sight by exactly 1 mile (16/16), what is their combined range increase when they use the binoculars one after the other?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to sum the range increase Sam gets with the range increase Joe gets, which is 3/14 + 16/16 = 3/14 + 1.
To sum these numbers we need to express 1 as a fraction with denominator 14, which is 14/14.
So the combined range increase is 3/14 + 14/14 = (3+14)/14 = 17/14 miles. 
### Answer: 17/14 miles. 

Expected answer: 17/14

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: If Sam's binoculars instead increased his range of sight by 4/14 of a mile, while Joe's binoculars still increase his range of sight by exactly 1 mile, how much would their combined range increase be when they use the binoculars one after the other?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to sum the range increase Sam gets with the range increase Joe gets, which is 4/14 + 1.
To sum these numbers, we need to express 1 as a fraction with denominator 14, which is 14/14.
So the combined range increase is 4/14 + 14/14 = (4+14)/14 = 18/14 miles. 
We can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, giving us a combined range increase of 9/7 miles.

🔗 Problem

Problem: A painter uses 18/11 liters of blue paint and 1/8 liters of white paint to mix a shade of sky blue. How much paint in liters did he use in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find the total amount of paint, we need to add the amount of blue paint and white paint.
That means we need to add the fractions 18/11 and 1/8. Before we can add fractions, they need to have a common denominator. 
The least common denominator for 11 and 8 is 88. So 18/11 is equivalent to 18/11 * 8/8 = 144/88, and 1/8 is equivalent to 1/8 * 11/11 = 11/88. 
Therefore 18/11 + 1/8 = 144/88 + 11/88 = 155/88.

### Answer: 155/88 liters 

Expected answer: 155/88

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After mixing the sky blue paint, the painter decides to mix in an additional 12/13 liters of white paint to lighten the shade. How many liters of paint does he have now in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: The painter started with 155/88 liters of paint and then added 12/13 liters. So, we need to add the fractions 155/88 and 12/13. 
First, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator for 88 and 13 is 1144. 
So 155/88 is equivalent to 155/88 * 13/13 = 2015/1144, and 12/13 is equivalent to 12/13 * 88/88 = 1056/1144. 
Therefore 155/88 + 12/13 = 2015/1144 + 1056/1144 = 3071/1144.

### Answer: 3071/1144 liters 

Expected answer: 3071/1144

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Initially, the painter used 18/11 liters of blue paint and 1/8 liters of white paint. However, what if instead of using 1/8 liters, he used 1/7 liters of white paint to mix the sky blue shade. How many liters of paint would he then have used in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the amount of blue paint (18/11 liters) and the new amount of white paint (1/7 liters).

To add these fractions, they need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 11 and 7 is 77.

*  18/11 is equivalent to (18/11) * (7/7) = 126/77
*  1/7 is equivalent to (1/7) * (11/11) = 11/77

Therefore, the total paint used is 126/77 + 11/77 = 137/77 liters.

### Answer: 137/77 liters

Problem: At the end of a rainbow, there are pots filled with magical gold coins. One pot contains 12/13 of a pound of gold coins while another contains 3/2 pounds of gold coins. How much gold is there in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To determine the total amount of gold, we need to add the fractions 12/13 and 3/2. In order to add fractions, they must have a common denominator. The least common denominator for 13 and 2 is 26.

(12/13) * (2/2) = 24/26
(3/2) * (13/13) = 39/26

24/26 + 39/26 = 63/26 pounds of gold.

### Answer: 63/26 pounds 

Expected answer: 63/26

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Instead of 12/13 of a pound of magical gold coins in the pot, let's say the pot originally contained 17/13 pounds of gold coins. If we still added this amount to the 3/2 pounds of gold coins in the other pot, how many pounds of gold coins are there now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the fractions 17/13 and 3/2. To add fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 13 and 2 is 26.

(17/13)*(2/2) = 34/26
(3/2)*(13/13) = 39/26

34/26 + 39/26 = 73/26 pounds of gold.

Problem: Mark bought a sleeping bag that was 19/2 feet long. However, he decides to cut off 13/12 feet from it to fit his height. How long is his sleeping bag now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To solve this, we need to subtract the length Mark cut off (13/12 feet) from the original length (19/2 feet). Before we can subtract, we need a common denominator.

The least common denominator for 2 and 12 is 12. Let's convert 19/2 to a fraction with a denominator of 12: 
(19/2) * (6/6) = 114/12

Now we can subtract: 
(114/12) - (13/12) = 101/12 feet

### Answer: 101/12 feet 

Expected answer: 101/12

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After tailoring, Mark finds the sleeping bag is still too long for his comfort. He decides to cut off another 13/14 feet from his sleeping bag. What is the length of his sleeping bag now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Mark's sleeping bag is currently 101/12 feet long, and he wants to cut off another 13/14 feet.  To do this, we need to subtract 13/14 from 101/12. First, find a common denominator for 12 and 14, which is 84.

Convert 101/12 and 13/14 to fractions with a denominator of 84:
(101/12) * (7/7) = 707/84
(13/14) * (6/6) = 78/84

Now we can subtract:
(707/84) - (78/84) = 629/84 feet

### Answer: 629/84 feet

Problem: Originally, Mark bought a sleeping bag that was 8/2 feet long instead of 19/2 feet. He still cuts off 13/12 feet from it to fit his height. How long is his sleeping bag now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, we need to simplify 8/2, which is equal to 4.  We need to figure out how much 4 feet is in terms of twelfths to subtract 13/12 from it. 

Since there are twelve inches in a foot, then 4 feet is the same as 4*12 = <<4*12=48>> 48 inches. This means 4 is equal to 48/12.

Now, we can subtract: (48/12)-(13/12) = 35/12. 

### Answer: 35/12 feet

Problem: Sammy has a backpack with a capacity of 20/9 liters. If he adds another pouch to the backpack that can hold 8/4 more liters, what will be the total capacity of his backpack?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First simplify 8/4 to 2 liters.
Then add the capacity of the pouch to the backpack: 20/9 + 2 = 20/9 + 18/9 = 38/9 liters. 
### Answer: 38/9 liters. 

Expected answer: 38/9

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: In addition to his already expanded backpack, Sammy finds another tiny side pocket that can carry an extra 3/8 of a liter. What is the total capacity of his backpack now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the tiny side pocket's capacity to his backpack's current capacity: 38/9 + 3/8.
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator: the least common multiple of 9 and 8 is 72.
Therefore: 38/9 + 3/8 = (38*8)/72 + (3*9)/72 = 304/72 + 27/72 = 331/72.
### Answer: 331/72 liters. 

Expected answer: 331/72

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Instead of the backpack having an initial capacity of 20/9 liters, let's say it could only carry 20/12 liters. If Sammy still adds the same extra pouch of 8/4 liters, what would the total capacity of his backpack be then?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, we simplify 8/4 liters to 2 liters. 
Then, we need to make the denominator the same for both fractions: 20/12 liters + 2 liters = 20/12 liters + 24/12 liters
Finally, we add the numerators: 20/12 + 24/12 = 44/12 liters.
### Answer: 44/12 liters.

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After counting his newly found gold, Captain Hook discovers an additional 7/11 ounces of gold hidden in a small pouch he had forgotten about. What is the total weight of all the gold Captain Hook now has?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the weight of the newly found gold (7/11 ounces) to his existing total (19/8 ounces).
To add fractions, they must have a common denominator. The least common denominator for 8 and 11 is 88.
Converting 19/8 to a fraction with a denominator of 88: (19/8)*(11/11) = 209/88
Converting 7/11 to a fraction with a denominator of 88: (7/11)*(8/8) = 56/88
Adding the two fractions: 209/88 + 56/88 = 265/88 ounces 
### Answer: 265/88 ounces 

Expected answer: 265/88

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: In the previous treasure hunt, Captain Hook had originally found 11/8 ounces of gold. But let's say, instead of finding 5/5 ounces of gold as he did in his latest treasure hunt, he discovered 7/5 ounces of gold. How much total weight of gold would Captain Hook have had then?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the original amount of gold Captain Hook had (11/8 ounces) to the amount he found on his latest treasure hunt (7/5 ounces).

To add fractions, they must have a common denominator. The least common denominator for 8 and 5 is 40.

*  11/8 is equivalent to 55/40 
*  7/5 is equivalent to 56/40

Adding those together, we get 55/40 + 56/40 = 111/40 ounces of gold.

🔗 Problem

Problem: Paul has built the front half of a chair that measures 5/2 feet high. He also constructs the back portion of the chair that measures 20/14 feet. What is the combined height of the front and back portions of the chair that Paul has constructed?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the height of the front half of the chair to the height of the back portion of the chair: 5/2 + 20/14
First find a common denominator for 2 and 14. The least common denominator is 14.
To convert 5/2 to a fraction with a denominator of 14, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 7:  5/2 * 7/7 = 35/14
Now we can add the two fractions:  35/14 + 20/14 = 55/14
The combined height of the front and back portions of the chair is 55/14 feet. 

### Answer: 55/14 feet. 

Expected answer: 55/14

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: The initial height of the chair was 55/14 feet and Paul shortened it by 2 feet.
First we need to convert 2 to a fraction with a denominator of 14: 2 = 2/1 * 14/14 = 28/14
Now we can subtract the length Paul removed from the initial height: 55/14 - 28/14 = 27/14.
The new height of the chair is 27/14 feet.

### Answer: 27/14 feet. 

Expected answer: 27/14

🔗 Problem

Problem: John has 5 shirts and he donated 12/9 of them to charity. How many shirts does he have left?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: John donated 12/9*5 = <<12/9*5=6.67>>6.67 shirts to charity. 
Since we can't have a fraction of a shirt, we round 6.67 to the nearest whole number, which is 7.
This means John has 5-7 = <<5-7=-2>>-2 shirts left.
It's impossible to have a negative number of shirts. This indicates there's an error in the problem statement. You can't donate more shirts than you have.
### Answer: Error in the problem statement.

Problem: Miss Daisy has 19/6 kg of fertilizers for her flowers. If she uses 17/20 kg on her roses, how much fertilizers does she have left to use on her other flowers?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We have to subtract the weight of fertilizers used for the roses from the initial weight of fertilizers: 19/6 kg - 17/20 kg.
To subtract the two fractions, they must have the same denominator.
The least common multiple of 6 and 20 is 60. Thus, we have 19/6 = (19*10)/(6*10) = 190/60, and 17/20 = (17*3)/(20*3)=51/60.
Therefore, 19/6 kg - 17/20 kg = 190/60 kg - 51/60 kg = 139/60 kg.

Reasoning: From the previous problem, we know Miss Daisy had 139/60 kg of fertilizer left after using some on her roses.
She found 11/11 kg which simplifies to 1 kg.
Therefore, Miss Daisy now has 139/60 kg + 1 kg of fertilizer.
To add these quantities, we need a common denominator.  Since 1 = 60/60, we have 139/60 kg + 60/60 kg = 199/60 kg.
### Answer: 199/60 kg

Expected answer: 199/60

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Continuing from the scenario, suppose instead of the initial 19/6 kg of fertilizers, Miss Daisy had only 14/6 kg of fertilizers. If she still uses 17/20 kg on her roses, how much fertilizers does she have left to use on her other flowers now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  We need to subtract the weight of fertilizers used for the roses from the new initial weight of fertilizers: 14/6 kg - 17/20 kg.
The least common multiple of 6 and 20 is 60. Thus, we have 14/6 = (14*10)/(6*10) = 140/60, and 17/20 = (17*3)/(20*3) = 51/60.
Therefore, 14/6 kg - 17/20 kg = 140/60 kg - 51/60 kg = 89/60 kg.
### Answer: 89/60 kg.

Expected answer: 89/60

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: Scientists have discovered that the moon is slowly moving away from Earth. If the distance increases by 4/16 meters every year, and unexpectedly there was an additional increase of 20/6 meters this year, what is the total change in distance this year?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the regular yearly increase to the unexpected additional increase: 4/16 meters + 20/6 meters.
To add these fractions, they need a common denominator.  The least common denominator for 16 and 6 is 48. 
Therefore: (4/16 * 3/3) + (20/6 * 8/8) = 12/48 + 160/48 = 172/48 meters.
This fraction can be simplified to 43/12 meters.

### Answer: 43/12 meters. 

Expected answer: 43/12

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Building upon the previous scenario, if scientists predict an additional increase of 16/6 meters in the coming year, what will be the total expected change in distance from Earth to the moon after this increase?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the regular yearly increase to the predicted additional increase next year: 4/16 meters + 16/6 meters. 
First, simplify 4/16 to 1/4.
To add these fractions, they need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 4 and 6 is 12.
Therefore: (1/4 * 3/3) + (16/6 * 2/2) = 3/12 + 32/12 = 35/12 meters. 

### Answer: 35/12 meters. 

Expected answer: 25/4

Correct? No

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Continuing from the previous scenario, suppose scientists later realized that there was a calculation error. Instead of an unexpected increase of 20/6 meters in the moon's distance this year, they found the increase was actually 20/18 meters. Given this corrected value, what is the total change in distance from the Earth to the moon this year?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We still need to add the regular yearly increase to the corrected unexpected increase: 4/16 meters + 20/18 meters.

First, simplify the fraction 20/18 by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, 2: 20/18 = 10/9.

Now, find a common denominator for 16 and 9, which is 144: 
(4/16 * 9/9) + (10/9 * 16/16) = 36/144 + 160/144 = 196/144 meters.

This fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, 4: 196/144 = 49/36 meters.

### Answer: 49/36 meters. 

Expected answer: 49/36

Problem: Captain Jack has a treasure map that shows the treasure is at a location that is (17 / 20) km to the East and then (15 / 3) km to the North from their starting point. How far must they travel in total to reach the treasure?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We must use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.
The Pythagorean Theorem states: a² + b² = c²
In this case, a = (17 / 20) km  and b = (15 / 3) km
Let's calculate (17 / 20)² = 289 / 400
Let's calculate (15 / 3)² = 225 / 9 = 25
So, c² = (289 / 400) + 25 = (289 / 400) + (10000 / 400) = 10289 / 400
Now we take the square root of both sides to find c: c = √(10289 / 400) = 101.43 / 20 = 5.07 km

Problem: Instead of initially collecting 11/20 of a pound of firewood, let's say Sarah collected only half as much, so 10/20 of a pound of firewood, while Alex still collected 9/7 pounds. How many pounds of firewood did they collect in total now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 
First, we need to find a common denominator for our fractions 10/20 and 9/7. Both fractions can share a common denominator of 140.
Let's convert 10/20 to a fraction with a denominator of 140: (10/20) * (7/7) = 70/140
Let's convert 9/7 to a fraction with a denominator of 140: (9/7)*(20/20) = 180/140
Now, we can add our fractions together: 70/140 + 180/140 = 250/140.
Finally, let's simplify our fraction and convert it into a mixed number: 250/140 = 1 11/14

### Answer: 1 11/14 pounds

🔗 Problem

Problem: Captain Bill sailed 19/5 miles north, before changing track and sailing an additional 12/15 miles north. How many miles north did Captain Bill sail in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To add fractions, they must share a common denominator. The least common denominator of 5 and 15 is 15.  We can write 19/5 as 57/15. That means Captain Bill sailed a total of 57/15 + 12/15 = 69/15 miles north. This simplifies to 23/5.
### Answer: 23/5 miles 

Expected answer: 23/5

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After traveling north for a total distance, Captain Bill decided to backtrack and went 20/17 miles south. How many miles away from the original starting point was Captain Bill located then?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  We need to subtract the distance Captain Bill traveled south from the total distance he traveled north. This means we need to subtract 20/17 miles from 23/5 miles.

First, we need to find a common denominator: 
* The least common denominator for 5 and 17 is 85.  
* We can rewrite 23/5 as  391/85 (23 * 17 = 391)
* We can rewrite 20/17 as 100/85 (20 * 5 = 100)

Now we can subtract: 391/85 - 100/85 = 291/85 miles.

### Answer: 291/85 miles 

Expected answer: 291/85

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After reconsidering the calculations, Captain Bill realized that he actually sailed 19/18 miles north initially instead of 19/5 miles before changing track and sailing an additional 12/15 miles north. In light of this new information, how many miles north did Captain Bill sail in total now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the two distances Captain Bill sailed north. The first distance is 19/18 miles and the second distance is 12/15 miles. To add fractions, they must have a common denominator. The least common denominator of 18 and 15 is 90. We can rewrite 19/18 as 95/90 and 12/15 as 72/90. Therefore, Captain Bill sailed a total of 95/90 + 72/90 = 167/90 miles north.
### Answer: 167/90 miles

🔗 Problem

Problem: A restaurant uses 19/17 pounds of ham and 9/4 pounds of turkey for their signature sandwich. What is the total weight of the two types of meat per sandwich?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find the total weight, we need to add the weight of the ham and the weight of the turkey.
To add the fractions, they must have a common denominator. The least common denominator for 17 and 4 is 68.
We can rewrite 19/17 as 76/68 and 9/4 as 153/68.
Adding the two fractions, we get 76/68 + 153/68 = 229/68 pounds.
### Answer: 229/68 pounds

Expected answer: 229/68

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After making their signature sandwich, the restaurant staff find that they have used 13/9 pounds more meat than they intended to. What is the weight of the meat that should have been in the sandwich?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find the intended weight of the meat, we need to subtract the excess meat (13/9 pounds) from the actual weight (229/68 pounds). 

First, we need to find a common denominator for 9 and 68, which is 612. 

We can rewrite 13/9 as 884/612 and 229/68 as 2061/612.

Subtracting the excess meat, we get 2061/612 - 884/612 = 1177/612 pounds.

### Answer: 1177/612 pounds 

Expected answer: 1177/612

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: The restaurant realized that the amount of the turkey meat in their signature sandwich should have been 6/4 pounds, not 9/4 pounds. What should be the total weight of the ham and turkey meat in the sandwich, according to this correction?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We will follow a similar process as before, but we will use 6/4 pounds for the turkey instead of 9/4 pounds.
The least common denominator for 17 and 4 is still 68.
We can rewrite 19/17 as 76/68 and 6/4 as 102/68.
Adding the two fractions, we get 76/68 + 102/68 = 178/68 pounds.
This fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, resulting in 89/34 pounds.
### Answer: 89/34 pounds

🔗 Problem

Problem: Lucy has a sleeping bag that is 18/19 meter long. She got an extension for her sleeping bag which made it 8/11 meter longer. What's the total length of the sleeping bag now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: The total length of the sleeping bag is 18/19 + 8/11 meters. 
To add the fractions, we need a common denominator: the least common denominator for 19 and 11 is 209. 
We can rewrite 18/19 as 198/209 (18*11 / 19*11 = 198/209) and 8/11 as 152/209 (8*19 / 11*19 = 152/209). 
Finally, 198/209 + 152/209 = 350/209 meters.
### Answer: 350/209 meters.

Problem: John spends 12/7 hours fixing a watch and then spends an additional 3/9 hours polishing it. How many hours in total did he spent working on the watch?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find the total time, we need to add the time spent on each task: 12/7 hours + 3/9 hours.

Before adding, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The least common denominator for 7 and 9 is 63.

Converting 12/7 to a fraction with a denominator of 63: (12/7) * (9/9) = 108/63
Converting 3/9 to a fraction with a denominator of 63: (3/9) * (7/7) = 21/63

Now we can add the fractions: 108/63 + 21/63 = 129/63

Simplifying the fraction: 129/63 = 43/21 = 2 1/21

### Answer: 2 1/21 hours

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After fixing and polishing the watch, John spends an extra 12/13 hours adjusting its mechanism. How many hours in total did he spend working on the watch overall?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We know John spent 2 1/21 hours fixing and polishing the watch. To find the total time, we need to add the additional time spent on adjustments: 2 1/21 hours + 12/13 hours.

First, convert the mixed number to a fraction: 2 1/21 = (2 * 21 + 1)/21 = 43/21

Next, find a common denominator for 21 and 13. The least common denominator is 273.

Converting 43/21 to a fraction with a denominator of 273: (43/21) * (13/13) = 559/273
Converting 12/13 to a fraction with a denominator of 273: (12/13) * (21/21) = 252/273

Now we can add the fractions: 559/273 + 252/273 = 811/273

Simplifying the fraction: 811/273 =  3 8/273

### Answer: 3 8/273 hours

Problem: In a revised scenario, if John spends 12/7 hours fixing a watch and then spends 3/15 hours polishing it instead of the original 3/9 hours, how many hours in total did he spent working on the watch now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find the total time, we need to add the time spent on each task: 12/7 hours + 3/15 hours.

Before adding, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The least common denominator for 7 and 15 is 105.

Converting 12/7 to a fraction with a denominator of 105: (12/7) * (15/15) = 180/105
Converting 3/15 to a fraction with a denominator of 105: (3/15) * (7/7) = 21/105

Now we can add the fractions: 180/105 + 21/105 = 201/105

Simplifying the fraction: 201/105 = 67/35 = 1 32/35

### Answer: 1 32/35 hours

Problem: Peggy the Penguin was swimming and had traveled for 5/4 miles when she turned around to go back to her family. She swam back for 1/12 miles before deciding to rest. How many miles is Peggy from her family?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Peggy swam 1/12 * 4/5 = <<1/12*4/5=1/15>> 1/15 of the total distance back.
This means she swam 1-1/15 = <<1-1/15=14/15>> 14/15 of the total distance.
Therefore, Peggy is (14/15) * (5/4) = <<(14/15)*(5/4)=7/6>> 7/6 miles away from her family. 
### Answer: 7/6 miles. 

Expected answer: 7/6

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Suppose that initially Peggy the Penguin had actually swam for 5/4 miles but she decided to turn back slightly earlier, swimming only 1/15 miles back towards her family before deciding to rest. How far would she be from her family in this scenario?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: If Peggy swam 1/15 miles back, she traveled 1/15 * 4/5 = <<1/15*4/5=4/75>> 4/75 of the initial 5/4 miles back. 
That means she has 1 - 4/75 = <<1-4/75= 71/75>> 71/75 of the 5/4 miles remaining. 
Therefore, Peggy is (71/75) * (5/4) = <<(71/75)*(5/4)=71/60>> 71/60 miles away from her family. 
### Answer: 71/60 miles.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the corrected size of the first part to the size of the second part: 4/9 + 11/12 

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 9 and 12 is 36.

*  (4/9) * (4/4) = 16/36
* (11/12) * (3/3) = 33/36

Problem: A fairy sprinkles 11/12 oz of magic dust over an enchanted field. She then sprinkles an additional 9/10 oz of dust over a grove of enchanted apple trees. What is the total amount of magic dust the fairy used?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find the total amount of magic dust, we need to add the amount used on the field to the amount used on the grove: 11/12 + 9/10.

First find a common denominator for 12 and 10, which is 60.
Then convert each fraction to have a denominator of 60:
- 11/12 = 55/60
- 9/10 = 54/60 

Now add the two fractions: 55/60 + 54/60 = 109/60

Finally, simplify the fraction by converting it to a mixed number: 109/60 = 1 49/60

Then, she flies over to a nearby forest where she originally had 14/3 oz of magic dust. After using the dust over the field and apple trees, how much magic dust is left for the fairy now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, find the total amount of magic dust used on the field and apple trees: 11/12 + 9/10.

A common denominator for 12 and 10 is 60. Convert the fractions:
- 11/12 = 55/60
- 9/10 = 54/60

Add the fractions: 55/60 + 54/60 = 109/60 oz

Now, subtract the amount used (109/60 oz) from the initial amount (14/3 oz). First, convert 14/3 to have a denominator of 60:
- 14/3 = 280/60

Problem: A fairy sprinkles 11/12 oz of magic dust over an enchanted field. She then planned to sprinkle an additional 9/10 oz of dust over a grove of enchanted apple trees, but she accidentally sprinkles more, as much as 16/10 oz. What is the total amount of magic dust the fairy used now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find the total amount of magic dust, we need to add the amount used on the field to the amount accidentally used on the grove: 11/12 + 16/10.

First find a common denominator for 12 and 10, which is 60.
Then convert each fraction to have a denominator of 60:
- 11/12 = 55/60
- 16/10 = 96/60 

Now add the two fractions: 55/60 + 96/60 = 151/60

Finally, simplify the fraction by converting it to a mixed number: 151/60 = 2 31/60

### Answer: 2 31/60 oz

Problem: In the first hour, a shark swims 3/9 miles and in the second hour height increases its speed to swim 13/5 miles. How many miles does the shark swim in total in these two hours?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find the total distance, we need to add the distances from each hour. So, the total distance is 3/9 miles + 13/5 miles. 
To add these fractions, they need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 9 and 5 is 45.
Converting 3/9 to a fraction with a denominator of 45: (3/9)*(5/5) = 15/45.
Converting 13/5 to a fraction with a denominator of 45: (13/5)*(9/9) = 117/45.
Now we can add the two distances: 15/45 miles + 117/45 miles = 132/45 miles. 
This can be simplified to 44/15 miles.
### Answer: 44/15 miles.

The least common denominator for 15 and 9 is 45.
Converting 44/15 to a fraction with a denominator of 45: (44/15)*(3/3) = 132/45.
Converting 14/9 to a fraction with a denominator of 45: (14/9)*(5/5) = 70/45.
Now, we can add the distances: 132/45 miles + 70/45 miles = 202/45 miles.

Reasoning:  We need to add the distance from the first hour (3/7 miles) to the distance from the second hour (13/5 miles).
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 7 and 5 is 35.
Converting 3/7 to a fraction with a denominator of 35: (3/7)*(5/5) = 15/35.
Converting 13/5 to a fraction with a denominator of 35: (13/5)*(7/7) = 91/35.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 17/17 seconds is equal to 1 second. 
The drummer hits the first beat at 1 second and the second beat at 2/12 seconds, for a total of 1 + 2/12 = 14/12 seconds. 
### Answer: 14/12 seconds.

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Instead of hitting the first note every 17/17 seconds, the drummer decides to change the beat and hit it every 16/17 seconds. They're still hitting the second note every 2/12 seconds though. How long does it now take the drummer to hit the two beats together?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find when the beats coincide, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two fractions' denominators. 

* First, simplify the second fraction: 2/12 simplifies to 1/6.

* Now we need the LCM of 17 and 6, which is 102.

* This means the first beat (16/17 seconds) will need to be multiplied by 6, and the second beat (1/6 seconds) will need to be multiplied by 17 to have matching denominators.

*  Therefore, it takes 102/102 seconds (which equals 1 second) for the first beat to coincide with the second beat.

### Answer: 1 second.

🔗 Problem

Problem: A butterfly's flight consisted of two segments. The first segment was 18/19 of a mile and the second was 9/17 of a mile. How long was the entire flight?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the length of both flight segments: 18/19 + 9/17
To add fractions, they need to have a common denominator, so we multiply each fraction by a suitable form of 1: (18/19) * (17/17) + (9/17) * (19/19) = 306/323 + 171/323
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can add them: 306/323 + 171/323 = 477/323
The butterfly's entire flight was 477/323 miles long.
### Answer: 477/323 miles

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After completing the first two segments of its flight, the butterfly flies an additional 19/20 of a mile. What is the total distance now that the butterfly has flown?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the distance of the third segment to the total distance from the first two segments: 477/323 + 19/20
To add fractions, they need to have a common denominator, so we multiply each fraction by a suitable form of 1: (477/323)*(20/20) + (19/20)*(323/323) = 9540/6460 + 6137/6460
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can add them: 9540/6460 + 6137/6460 = 15677/6460
The butterfly has now flown a total of 15677/6460 miles.
### Answer: 15677/6460 miles

Problem: Suppose the butterfly's first flight segment was actually shorter than previously thought, only 18/12 of a mile instead of 18/19 of a mile, while the second segment remained 9/17 of a mile. What would be the new total length of the butterfly's flight?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We follow the same process as before, but this time with the adjusted length of the first segment.
The total length of the flight is now 18/12 + 9/17 miles.
Again, we need a common denominator to add these fractions: (18/12)*(17/17) + (9/17)*(12/12) = 306/204 + 108/204.
Adding the fractions with a common denominator: 306/204 + 108/204 = 414/204.
This fraction can be simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6: (414/6)/(204/6) = 69/34.
The new total length of the butterfly's flight is 69/34 miles.

Problem: A helium balloon rises at a rate of 13/6 feet per second. After a gust of wind, its speed increases by 3/16 feet per second. What is the new speed of the balloon in feet per second?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the increase in speed due to the gust of wind to the original speed of the balloon. 
This means we need to add 13/6 and 3/16. To add these fractions, they need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 6 and 16 is 48.
13/6 is equivalent to (13 * 8) / (6 * 8) = 104/48.
3/16 is equivalent to (3 * 3) / (16 * 3) = 9/48.
Now we can add the fractions: 104/48 + 9/48 = 113/48.

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Continuing from the previous scenario, let's suppose the colonial fireplace in the early morning burns firewood at a slightly different rate of 8/15 cords per hour instead of 4/15 cords per hour. The late night burning rate remains the same at 14/15 cords per hour. Given these new circumstances, how much firewood does the fireplace burn in total in one hour split between the early morning and late night?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to add the new early morning rate to the late night rate.
(8/15) + (14/15) = 22/15
### Answer: 22/15 cords  

Expected answer: 22/15

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: An alien travelled 9/20 of a light year towards earth then decided to move forward another 11/7 light years. How many light years has the alien travelled in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To add the two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator for 20 and 7 is 140.
So, 9/20 is equivalent to 63/140 and 11/7 is equivalent to 220/140.
Therefore, the alien travelled a total of 63/140 + 220/140 = 283/140 light years. 

### Answer: 283/140 light years. 

Expected answer: 283/140

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After traveling ((9 / 20) + (11 / 7)) light years towards earth, the alien continues its journey for an additional 14/2 light years. How many light years in total has the alien traveled?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First we need to calculate the total distance the alien traveled in the first two parts of the journey.  We can do this by adding the two fractions, which we previously found to be a total of 283/140 light years.

Next, we can simplify the third distance, 14/2 light years, to 7 light years. 

To make it easier to add this distance to the first two, we can express it with a denominator of 140: 7 light years is equivalent to 980/140 light years.

Therefore, the total distance the alien travelled is 283/140 + 980/140 = 1263/140 light years.

### Answer: 1263/140 light years. 

Expected answer: 1263/140

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: The alien originally travelled ((9 / 20) + (11 / 7)) light years towards earth. But what if instead, the alien had only travelled (9 / 20) + (11 / 11) light years to start with? How many light years would the alien have travelled then?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, we simplify 11/11 to 1.
So, the problem becomes (9/20) + 1.
To add these, we need a common denominator.  We can rewrite 1 as 20/20.
Therefore, the alien would have traveled 9/20 + 20/20 = 29/20 light years.

### Answer: 29/20 light years. 

Expected answer: 29/20

Correct? Yes

🔗 Problem

Problem: If Bob has 10/2 of a cucumber and he adds it to 1/7 of another cucumber, how many cucumbers does he have in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 10/2 of a cucumber simplifies to 5 cucumbers.
Adding 1/7 of a cucumber doesn't give us another whole cucumber, so Bob still has 5 whole cucumbers.
However, he has an additional 1/7 of a cucumber.
### Answer: 5 1/7 cucumbers 

Expected answer: 36/7

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: After combining the cucumbers, Bob duplicates his total amount. Now, how many cucumbers does he have?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Bob had 5 1/7 cucumbers, and doubling that means he multiplies his amount by 2. 
Doubling his whole cucumbers: 5 cucumbers * 2 = 10 cucumbers
Doubling his fraction of a cucumber: (1/7) * 2 = 2/7 of a cucumber
Adding the whole and fractional parts together: 10 cucumbers + (2/7) cucumbers = 10 2/7 cucumbers
### Answer: 10 2/7 cucumbers 

Expected answer: 72/7

Correct? Yes

🔗 Follow-up

Problem: Suppose instead of 1/7 of a cucumber, Bob initially has 17/7 (or about 2 and a half) cucumbers before adding 10/2. How many cucumbers does he have now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, simplify 10/2, which equals 5 cucumbers.
Next, convert the fraction 17/7 into a mixed number: 2 3/7 cucumbers
Now, add the whole cucumbers: 2 + 5 = 7 cucumbers
This leaves us with 7 whole cucumbers and the remaining 3/7 of a cucumber. 
### Answer: 7 3/7 cucumbers 

Expected answer: 52/7

Correct? Yes
