[Question]One US cup equals 250ml. Brian is making lasagna for himself, his wife, his two kids, his parents, and his wife's parents. The recipe requires 1/2 a cup of milk per serving. How many 1L cartons of milk does Brian need to buy if each person is expected to eat 2 servings?
[Answer]There will be a total of (1) Brian + (1) Brian's wife + (2) two kids + (2) Brian's parents + (2) Brian's in - laws = 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 people eating. If 1 person eats 2 serving of lasagna then 8 people will eat 8 * 2 = 16 servings. If each serving requires 1 / 2 cup of milk then 16 servings require 16 * 1 / 2 cups = 8 cups of milk. If one cup of milk equals 250 ml, then 8 cups of milk equal 8 * 250 = 2000 ml of milk. 1L carton of milk equals 1000ml of milk, therefore Brian needs 2000 / 1000 = 2 cartons of 1L milk. The answer is 2.

[Question]Ruby is taking dance lessons. They cost $75 for 10 classes in one pack. She can add additional classes at the price of 1/3 more than the average price of a class on the lesson in the pack. if she takes 13 total classes, how much does she pay?
[Answer]The classes in the pack cost $7.5 each because 75 / 10 = 7.5. An additional class costs $10 because 7.5 x (1 + (1 / 3)) = 10. She buys 3 extra classes because 13 - 10 = 3. Her three additional classes cost $30 because 3 x 10 = 30. Her total cost is $105 because 75 + 30 = 105. The answer is 105.
