Jerry’s two daughters play softball on different teams. They each have 8 games this season. Each team practices 4 hours for every game they play. If each game lasts for 2 hours, how many hours will Jerry spend at the field watching his daughters play and practice altogether? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
Jerry will spend 8 games x 2 hours per game = 16 hours watching one daughter play her games. He will spend 16 x 2 = 32 hours watching both daughters play their games. He will spend 8 games x 4 hours of practice = 32 hours watching one daughter practice. He will spend 32 x 2 = 64 hours watching both daughters practice. He will spend a total of 32 hours watching games + 64 hours watching practice = 96 hours.
Therefore, the answer is 96.
