Question: Matthew asked his children how many hotdogs they wanted for dinner. Both Ella and Emma agreed they wanted 2 hotdogs each. Luke said he could eat twice the amount of hotdogs as his sisters while Hunter said he could only eat 1 and half times the total amount of his sisters. How many hotdogs did Matthew need to cook?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Ella wanted 2 while Emma wanted 2 so 2 + 2 = 4 hotdogs. Luke could eat twice as his sisters so 2 * 2 = 4 hotdogs. Hunter could eat 1 1 / 2 times the amount of his sisters so 1.5 * 4 = 6 hotdogs. All total, Matthew needs to cook, 4 + 4 + 6 = 18 hot dogs.
So the answer is 14.


Question: John ends up serving on jury duty. Jury selection takes 2 days. The trial itself lasts 4 times as long as jury selection It is a complicated trial. The number of hours spent in jury deliberation was the equivalent of 6 full days. They spend 16 hours a day in deliberation. How many days does John spend on jury duty?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Deliberation ended up taking 6 * 24 = 144 hours. That means they spent 144 / 16 = 9 days in deliberation. The trial lasted 2 * 4 = 8 days. So he spent 2 + 8 + 9 = 19 days on jury duty.

Half a page is 20 / 2 = 10 lines. In total, he has written 20 + 10 = 30 lines. The 30 lines written are 30 * 10 = 300 words. Lucas has 400 - 300 = 100 words left to write.
So the answer is 100.
