Reasoning and answer: During dinner time, Yves and his siblings ate 16 / 4 = 4 slices. So the next day, there were still 16 - 4 = 12 slices left. The next day, Yves ate 12 / 4 = 3 slices of pizza. Thus, there were 12 - 3 = 9 slices left. Then, his two siblings ate 2 x 2 = 4 slices of pizza. Therefore, there were still 9 - 4 = 5 slices of pizza left.
The answer: 5

Reasoning and answer: Julie caught half the amount of Tabitha's 22 pieces so 22 / 2 = 11 pieces of candy caught by Julie. Carlos caught twice the amount of candy as Stan's 13 pieces so 2 * 13 = 26 pieces of candy caught by Carlos. All together, Tabitha caught 22 pieces, Stan had 13, Julie had 11 and Carlos had 26, so there were a total of 22 + 13 + 11 + 26 = 72 pieces of candy.
The answer: 72
