"Albert is wondering how much pizza he can eat in one day. He buys 2 large pizzas and 2 small pizzas. A large pizza has 16 slices and a small pizza has 8 slices. If he eats 2/8 of each large pizza and 1/4 of each small pizza, how many slices does Albert eat?","He eats 32 from the largest pizzas because 2 × 16 = <<2×16=32>>32 He eats 16 from the small pizza because 2 × 8 = <<2×8=16>>16 He eats 2/8 of 32 which is <<32×(2/8)=8>>8 from the large pizzas He eats 1/4 of 16 which is <<16×(1/4)=4>>4 from the small pizzas He eats a total of 8 + 4 = <<8+4=12>>12 slices ### 12"
"Ken created a care package to send to his brother, who was away at boarding school. Ken placed a box on a scale, and then he poured in 2 pounds of jelly beans. After that, Ken added brownies until the scale showed 3 times the initial weight. How many pounds of brownies did Ken add to the box?","To the initial 2 pounds of jelly beans, he added enough brownies to cause the weight to triple, bringing the weight to 2×3=<<2×3=6>>6 pounds. So the final weight is 6 pounds. Since we already have 2 pounds of jelly beans, the weight of the brownies must be 6-2=<<6-2=4>>4 pounds. ### 4"
