Question: Billy buys a 12 pack of soda from the store. If he has twice as many brothers as sisters, and he has 2 sisters, how many sodas can he give to each of his siblings if he wants to give out the entire 12 pack while giving each the same number?
Answer: First, we need to determine how many siblings Billy has. To do this, we perform 2 * 2 = 4 brothers, as he has 2 sisters and twice as many brothers as sisters. Then we divide the total number of sodas in the 12 pack, which is 12, by the number of siblings, performing 12 / 6 = 2 cans per person. The answer is 2.
[Question]Chip takes 2 pages of notes every day, 5 days a week, for each of his 5 classes. His notebook paper comes in packs of 100 sheets of paper per pack. After 6 weeks, how many packs of notebook paper will Chip use?
[Answer]He takes 2 pages of notes every day for each of his 5 classes so that's 2 * 5 = 10 pages of notes. He takes 10 pages of notes every day for 5 days so that's 10 * 5 = 50 pages of notes. If he takes 50 pages of notes every week for 6 weeks that's 50 * 6 = 300 pages of notes. His notebook paper comes 100 pages per pack and he has taken 300 pages of notes so he used 300 / 100 = 3 packs of notebook paper. The answer is 3.

Question: Eddie can bake 3 pies a day. His sister can bake 6 pies while his mother can bake 8 pies a day. How many pies will they be able to bake in 7 days?
Answer: Eddie bakes 3 x 7 = 21 pies for 7 days. His sister bakes 6 x 7 = 42 pies for 7 days. His mother can bake 8 x 7 = 56 pies for 7 days. Therefore, they are able to bake 21 + 42 + 56 = 119 pies in 7 days. The answer is 119.
[Question]Jenna is planning a road trip. She plans on driving the first 200 miles, and her friend will drive the last 100 miles. They plan on taking 2 30-minute breaks. If Jenna drives 50 miles per hour and her friend drives 20 miles per hour, how many hours will they spend on the road trip?
[Answer]Jenna will drive 200 miles at a rate of 50 miles per hour, so she will drive for 4 hours. Her friend will drive 100 miles at a rate of 20 miles per hour, so Jenna's friend will drive for 5 hours. They will spend a total of 60 minutes on breaks because 30 minutes + 30 minutes = 60 minutes. Thus, they will spend 1 hour on breaks because there are 60 minutes in an hour. The road trip will take a total of 1 + 4 + 5 = 10 hours. The answer is 10.
[Question]An internet provider gives a 5% discount if the customer pays before the 25th day of the month. If the monthly internet rate is $50, how much did the customer pay in all for 4 months if he paid every 25th of the month?
[Answer]
The 5% discount amounts to $50 x 5 / 100 = $2.50. So the total discount given to the customer for 4 months was $2.50 x 4 = $10. The customer was supposed to pay $50 x 4 = $200 in all for 4 months without discount. Since the customer is entitled to the discount, then he only paid a total of $200 - $10 = $190 for 4 months. The answer is 190.
