Question: Thomas is making hummus. One of the ingredients in a hummus recipe is chickpeas. For one serving of hummus, the recipe calls for 1 cup of chickpeas. In a can of chickpeas, there are 16 ounces of chickpeas. In one cup of chickpeas, there are 6 ounces. To make 20 servings, how many cans of chickpeas should Thomas buy?
Answer: For 20 servings, Thomas needs 20 * 1 = 20 cups of chickpeas. To have 20 cups, Thomas needs 20 * 6 = 120 ounces. 120 ounces / 16 ounces = 7.5 cans of chickpeas. Since Thomas cannot buy half a can, he needs to buy 8 cans. The answer is 8.

Question: Alden had 50 nephews ten years ago. This is half the number of nephews Alden has now. If Vihaan has 60 more nephews than Alden now, how many nephews do the two have altogether?
Answer: If the number of nephews Alden had 50 years ago is half the number of nephews he has now, Alden has 50 * 2 = 100 nephews. Vihaan has 60 more nephews than Alden, meaning currently Vihaan has 100 + 60 = 160 nephews. Altogether, the two have 160 + 100 = 260 nephews. The answer is 260.

Question: Bess and Holly are playing Frisbee at the park. Bess can throw the Frisbee as far as 20 meters and she does this 4 times. Holly can only throw the Frisbee as far as 8 meters and she does this 5 times. Each time Bess throws a Frisbee, she throws it back to her original position. Holly leaves her Frisbee where it lands every time she throws it. In total, how many meters have the thrown Frisbees traveled?
Answer: Bess throws the Frisbee out 4 times * 20 meters each time = 80 meters. She then throws it back which doubles the distance traveled to 80 meters * 2 = 160 meters. Holly throws the Frisbee out 5 times * 8 meters = 40 meters. So in total, Holly and Bess have thrown the Frisbees 160 + 40 = 200 meters. The answer is 200.
