[Question]Jerry has a bunch of half-empty soda cans on his desk. He needs to drain all of them and put them in the recycling bin. He can carry four cans at once, and it takes him 30 seconds to drain those 4 cans. It takes him ten seconds each way to walk to the sink and recycling bin and then back to his desk. If there are 28 cans on Jerry's desk, how long does it take him to throw all of them away?
[Answer]Jerry has to walk to the sink / recycling bin 28 cans / 4 cans per trip = 7 trips. The round trip takes 10 seconds per way * 2 ways = 20 seconds. Counting the time he spent pouring out the cans and the time the round trip took, he spent 20 seconds per trip + 30 seconds per trip = 50 seconds per trip. With 7 round trips, he spent 50 seconds per trip * 7 trips = 350 seconds. The answer is 350.

[Question]Kylie picks apples for 3 hours. The first hour she picks 66 apples. The second hour she doubles her apple picking rate, and the third hour she picks a third of the apples picked in the first hour. How many apples did Kylie pick total?

[Question]Victor works at Clucks Delux, a restaurant specializing in chicken. An order of Chicken Pasta uses 2 pieces of chicken, an order of Barbecue Chicken uses 3 pieces of chicken, and a family-size Fried Chicken Dinner uses 8 pieces of chicken. Tonight, Victor has 2 Fried Chicken Dinner orders, 6 Chicken Pasta orders, and 3 Barbecue Chicken orders. How many pieces of chicken does he need for all the orders?
