[Question]A baseball team has averaged 15 hits per game over their first 5 games. There are 11 players on the team. Their best player has 25 total hits. If the other players continue their average over the next 6 games, how many hits will each player average across the 6 games in total?
[Answer]The best player averages 5 hits a game because 25 / 5 = 5. The rest of the team averages 10 hits a game because 15 - 5 = 10. The rest of the players average 1 hit a game because 10 / 10 = 1. They will average 6 hits per player over the next 6 games because 6 x 1 = 6. The answer is 6.

[Question]Gerald is a furniture maker. He has 672 pieces of wood and he wants to make some tables and chairs. It takes 12 pieces of wood to make a table and 8 pieces of wood to make a chair. How many chairs can he make if he makes 24 tables?
[Answer]Each table takes 12 pieces of wood to make so 24 tables will take 24 * 12 = 288. There were originally 672 pieces of wood so now there are 672 - 288 = 384 pieces left. 8 pieces of wood make 1 chair so 384 pieces can make 384 / 8 = 48 chairs. The answer is 48.

[Question]Sally eats 2 sandwiches on Saturday and 1 sandwich on Sunday. If each sandwich uses 2 pieces of bread, how many pieces of bread does Sally eat across Saturday and Sunday?
