Q: Johnny is out walking his two dogs at night, and his son joins him for the walk. How many legs' worth of organisms are traveling together for this walk?
A: As Johnny and his son are humans, and humans walk on two legs, this means that between the two of them there are 2 * 2 = 4 legs' worth of organisms. There are two dogs walking along as well, and since dogs walk on 4 legs this means there are 2 * 4 = 8 legs' worth of organisms. We add these two totals together to find there are 4 + 8 = 12 legs' worth of organisms in total. The answer is 12.
Question: To make a cherry pie, Veronica needs 3 pounds of pitted cherries. There are 80 single cherries in one pound of cherries.  It takes 10 minutes to pit 20 cherries. How many hours will it take Veronica to pit all the cherries?
Answer: There are 80 cherries in a pound and she needs 3 pounds to make a pie so she needs 80 * 3 = 240 cherries. It takes her 10 minutes to pit a unit of 20 cherries. She has 240 / 20 = 12 units of cherries to pit. It takes 10 minutes to pit a unit of cherries and she has 12 units so it will take her 10 * 12 = 120 minutes. 60 minutes are in 1 hour and it takes her 120 minutes so that’s 120 / 60 = 2 hours. The answer is 2.

Question: Ivan has a bird feeder in his yard that holds two cups of birdseed. Every week, he has to refill the emptied feeder. Each cup of birdseed can feed fourteen birds, but Ivan is constantly chasing away a hungry squirrel that steals half a cup of birdseed from the feeder every week. How many birds does Ivan’s bird feeder feed weekly?
Answer: The squirrel steals 1 / 2 cup of birdseed every week, so the birds eat 2 - 1 / 2 = 1 1 / 2 cups of birdseed. Each cup feeds 14 birds, so Ivan’s bird feeder feeds 14 * 1 1 / 2 = 21 birds weekly. The answer is 21.
