Lizzy: Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison does. With 60 lollipops, Alisson has half the number of lollipops Diane has. If they combine the lollipops and eat 45 lollipops each day, calculate the total number of days it will take for them to finish the lollipops..
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Since Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison, he has 60 + 30 = 90 lollipops. Together, Alison and Henry have 90 + 60 = 150 lollipops. Alison has half the number of lollipops that Diane has, meaning Diane has 2 * 60 = 120 lollipops. Altogether, the three have 120 + 150 = 270 lollipops. Since they eat 45 lollipops each day, they'll take 270 / 45 = 6 days to finish all the lollipops. Final answer: 6.
