question: Luke ate 2 hot dogs. Thomas ate three times more hot dogs than Luke. John ate half the amount Thomas ate. How many more hot dogs did John eat than Luke?
answer: Thomas ate 3 * 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 hot dogs.
  John ate 6/2 = <<6/2=3>>3 hot dogs.
  John ate 3 - 2 = <<3-2=1>>1 more hot dog than Luke.
