Mr. Mitchell is buying pizzas for the soccer team. He buys one slice for every goal they scored on the season. A large pizza has 12 slices. If he bought 6 pizzas, and the team had 8 games, how many goals did they score per game on average?
Let's think: They scored 72 goals because 6 x 12 = 72. They scored 9 goals a game because 72 / 8 = 9.. The answer is: 9.

Cameron drives at twice the speed of his brother, Chase. But Danielle drives at three times the speed of Cameron. If it takes Danielle 30 minutes to travel from Granville to Salisbury, how long, in minutes, will it take Chase to travel from Granville to Salisbury?
Let's think: If Danielle drives at three times the speed of Cameron, it will take Cameron 30 * 3 = 90 minutes for Cameron to travel the same distance. And since Cameron drives at twice the speed of his brother, Chase, it will take Chase 90 * 2 = 180 minutes to travel from Granville to Salisbury.. The answer is: 180.

A special balloon increases by two-fifths of its previous volume every hour when placed under water. If its original volume is 500cm³, what will its volume be after 2 hours underwater?
Let's think: In the first hour, the balloon will increase in volume by two - fifths of 500cm³ which is (2 / 5) * 500cm³ = 200cm³. After the first hour, it will have a volume of (500 + 200)cm³ = 700cm³. In the second hour, it will increase in volume by two - fifths of 700cm³ which is (2 / 5) * 700cm³ = 280cm³. After the second hour, it's volume will be (700 + 280)cm³ = 980cm³.. The answer is: 980.

A pastry chef is making brownies but is running out of butter. The recipe he is following calls for 2 ounces of butter for every 1 cup of baking mix; however, it allows 2 ounces of coconut oil to be substituted for the 2 ounces of butter if necessary. The chef would like to use as much butter as possible before switching over and substituting coconut oil. If the chef had 4 ounces of butter remaining, and he plans on using 6 cups of baking mix, how many ounces of coconut oil will he end up using?
Let's think:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

Every 2 ounces of butter is enough to cover 1 cup of baking mix, so the chef's remaining 4 ounces of butter will be enough to cover 4 / 2 = 2 cups of baking mix. This leaves 6 - 2 = 4 cups of baking mix that will require the use of coconut oil as a substitute. Since each cup of baking mix requires 2 ounces of coconut oil, these 4 cups will require a total of 4 * 2 = 8 ounces of coconut oil.. The answer is: 8.
