Lizzy: Trent cries 2 tears for every three onions he chops. He needs to chop 4 onions per pot of soup. If he's making 6 pots of soup, how many tears does he cry?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
First find how many onions total Trent needs to chop: 4 onions / pot * 6 pots = 24 onions. Then divide that number by three onions per 2 tears to find how many sets of two tears Trent cries: 24 onions / 3 onions = 8. Then multiply that number by the number of tears per set to find the total number of tears: 8 * 2 tears = 16 tears. Final answer: 16.
