[Question]Mary uses plastic grocery bags that can hold a maximum of twenty pounds. She buys 4 pounds of green beans, 6 pounds milk, and twice the amount of carrots as green beans. How many more pounds of groceries can Mary fit in that bag?
[Answer]First find the total weight of the carrots: 4 pounds * 2 = 8 pounds. Now add the total weight of each item: 6 pounds + 8 pounds + 4 pounds = 18 pounds. Now subtract the total weight of the groceries from the bag's weight limit: 20 pounds - 18 pounds = 2 pounds. The answer is 2.

[Question]At the Mystic Aquarium, sharks are fed four buckets of fish each day. The dolphins are fed half as many buckets as the sharks while the other sea animals are fed five times as many buckets as the sharks. How many weeks will 546 buckets of fish last?
[Answer]The dolphins are fed 4 / 2 = 2 buckets of fish each day. The sea animals are fed 4 x 5 = 20 buckets of fish each day. So, the Mystic Aquarium needs 4 + 2 + 20 = 26 buckets of fish each day. Thus in a week, it needs 26 x 7 = 182 buckets of fish. Therefore, 546 buckets of fish will last for 546 / 182 = 3 weeks. The answer is 3.
