[Question]Hooper Bay has twice as many pounds of lobster than the two other harbors combined. If the other two harbors have 80 pounds of lobster each, how many pounds of lobster are the three harbors holding?
[Answer]Since the other two harbors have 80 pounds of lobsters each, they have a total of 80 + 80 = 160 pounds of lobster. Since Hooper Bay has two times more lobsters than the other two harbors combined, it has 2 * 160 = 320 pounds of lobster. In total, the three harbors have 320 + 160 = 480 pounds of lobster. The answer is 480.
Q: Gentry assembled a new 24 foot round pool in her backyard. To fill the pool with water, she used four hoses. Two of the hoses each deliver water at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. The other two hoses each deliver water at a rate of 3 gallons per minute. With a volume of 15,000 gallons, how many hours will it take to fill the pool?
A: Each of the two hoses delivers water at a rate of 2 gallons per minute, for a combined total of 2 * 2 = 4 gallons of water per minute. The other two hoses each deliver water at a rate of 3 gallons per minute, for a combined total of 2 * 3 = 6 gallons of water per minute. Thus, all four hoses deliver a combined total of 4 + 6 = 10 gallons of water per minute. With a volume of 15,000 gallons, it would take 15,000 / 10 = 1500 minutes to fill the pool. Converting to hours, it will take 1500 / 60 = 25 hours to fill the pool. The answer is 25.
Question: James decides to cut down some trees. In the first 2 days, he cuts down 20 trees each day. For the next 3 days his 2 brothers help him cut down trees. They cut 20% fewer trees per day than James. How many total trees were cut down?
Answer: He cuts down 2 * 20 = 40 trees by himself. Each of his brothers cuts down 20 * .2 = 4 fewer trees per day. So they each cut down 20 - 4 = 16 trees. So for the next 3 days they cut down 20 + 16 * 2 = 52 trees per day. So they cut down 40 + 52 * 3 = 196 trees. The answer is 196.
[Question]Adah practiced the cello for a total of 7.5 hours last week. He practiced for 86 minutes on each of 2 days. How many minutes in total did he practice on the other days?

Q: Christine is subbing aquafaba for egg whites in baking. Every 2 tablespoons of aquafaba is equivalent to 1 egg white. She's making 2 angel food cakes that call for 8 egg whites each. How many tablespoons of aquafaba will she need in order not to use egg whites?
A: Both cakes use 8 egg whites so she would typically use 2 * 8 = 16 egg whites. 2 tablespoons of aquafaba is equivalent to 1 egg white and she needs 16 egg whites to that's 2 * 16 = 32 tablespoons of aquafaba. The answer is 32.
