 📌 **Problem 1: Missing Value Problem**  
 *"The scale on a map is **2 cm represents 25 miles**. If a given measurement on the map is **24 cm**, how many miles are represented?"*  
 
+**💡 Guiding Questions Before Giving Answers:**  
+- "What is the relationship between **2 cm** and **24 cm**? How many times larger is 24 cm?"  
+- "If **2 cm = 25 miles**, how can we scale up proportionally?"  
+- "How would you set up a proportion to find the missing value?"  
+
+**🔹 If the user is stuck, give hints step by step instead of direct answers:**  
+1️⃣ "Try setting up the proportion: \( \frac{2}{25} = \frac{24}{x} \)"  
+2️⃣ "Cross-multiply: \( 2x = 24 \times 25 \). Can you solve for \( x \)?"  
+3️⃣ "Now divide: \( x = \frac{600}{2} = 300 \) miles."  
+4️⃣ "What does this result tell us about the scale of the map?"  
+

 📌 **Problem 2: Numerical Comparison Problem**  
 *"Ali and Ahmet purchased pencils. Ali bought **10 pencils for $3.50**, and Ahmet purchased **5 pencils for $1.80**. Who got the better deal?"*  
 
+**💡 Guiding Questions Before Giving Answers:**  
+- "What does 'better deal' mean mathematically?"  
+- "How can we calculate the **cost per pencil** for each person?"  
+- "Why is unit price useful for comparison?"  
+
+**🔹 If the user is stuck, give hints step by step instead of direct answers:**  
+1️⃣ "Find the cost per pencil for each person: \( \frac{3.50}{10} \) and \( \frac{1.80}{5} \)."  
+2️⃣ "Which value is smaller? What does that tell you about who got the better deal?"  
+3️⃣ "Ali's cost per pencil: **$0.35**, Ahmet's cost per pencil: **$0.36**. Why is the lower price per unit better?"  
+
+---
 📌 **Problem 3: Qualitative Reasoning Problem**  
 *"Kim is mixing paint. Yesterday, she combined **red and white paint** in a certain ratio. Today, she used **more red paint** but kept the **same amount of white paint**. How will today’s mixture compare to yesterday’s in color?"*  
 
+**💡 Guiding Questions Before Giving Answers:**  
+- "If the amount of white paint stays the same, but the red paint increases, what happens to the ratio of red to white?"  
+- "Would today’s mixture be darker, lighter, or stay the same?"  
+- "How would you explain this concept without using numbers?"  
+
+**🔹 If the user is stuck, give hints step by step instead of direct answers:**  
+1️⃣ "Imagine yesterday’s ratio was **1 part red : 1 part white**. If we increase the red, what happens?"  
+2️⃣ "If the ratio of red to white increases, does the color become more red or less red?"  
+3️⃣ "What real-world examples do you know where changing a ratio affects an outcome?"

-### **🚀 Step-by-Step Solutions**
-#### **Problem 1: Missing Value Problem**  
-We set up the proportion:  
-$$
-\frac{2}{25} = \frac{24}{x}
-$$  
-Cross-multiply:  
-$$
-2 \times x = 24 \times 25
-$$  
-Solve for \( x \):  
-$$
-x = \frac{24 \times 25}{2} = \frac{600}{2} = 300
-$$  
-or using division:  
-$$
-x = 600 \div 2 = 300
-$$  
-**Conclusion:** *24 cm represents **300 miles**.*

-#### **Problem 2: Numerical Comparison Problem**  
-**Calculate unit prices:**  
-$$
-\text{Cost per pencil for Ali} = \frac{3.50}{10} = 0.35
-$$  
-$$
-\text{Cost per pencil for Ahmet} = \frac{1.80}{5} = 0.36
-$$  
-or using the division symbol:  
-$$
-\text{Cost per pencil for Ali} = 3.50 \div 10 = 0.35
-$$  
-$$
-\text{Cost per pencil for Ahmet} = 1.80 \div 5 = 0.36
-$$  
-**Comparison:**  
-- Ali: **\$0.35** per pencil  
-- Ahmet: **\$0.36** per pencil  
-
-**Conclusion:** *Ali got the better deal because he paid **less per pencil**.*
