Q: Johnson owns a hectare cornfield that can yield 80 corn every two months, while his neighbor owns a two-hectare cornfield and each hectare can yield twice the amount as Johnson. How much corn can they harvest altogether after six months?
A: Each hectare of Johnson's neighbor can yield 80 x 2 = 160 corns every two months. So, the neighbor's two - hectare cornfield can yield a total of 160 x 2 = 320 corns every two months. They yield a total of 80 + 320 = 400 corns. Therefore, They can harvest 400 x 3 = 1200 corns altogether. The answer is 1200.

[Question]Abigail is trying a new recipe for a cold drink. It uses 1/4 of a cup of iced tea and 1 and 1/4 of a cup of lemonade to make one drink. If she fills a pitcher with 18 total cups of this drink, how many cups of lemonade are in the pitcher?
[Answer]
Each drink uses 1.5 cups because 1 / 4 cup + 1 and 1 / 4 cup = 1.5 cups. The pitcher contains 12 total drinks because 18 / 1.5 = 12. There are 15 cups of lemonade in the pitcher because 12 x 1 and 1 / 4 = 15. The answer is 15.
