[Question]The doctor told Barry to take vitamin D3 for 180 days to help protect him from infections. The pharmacy only sold vitamin D3 in bottles containing 60 capsules, with a daily serving size of 2 capsules. How many bottles would Barry need to buy to have enough servings to last for 180 days?
[Answer]If each serving size is 2 capsules, a 60 - capsule bottle of vitamin D3 would contain 60 / 2 = 30 servings. Using 30 - serving bottles, to last 180 days, it would take 180 / 30 = 6 bottles of vitamin D3. The answer is 6.

Question: Hooper Bay has twice as many pounds of lobster than the two other harbors combined. If the other two harbors have 80 pounds of lobster each, how many pounds of lobster are the three harbors holding?
Answer:
Since the other two harbors have 80 pounds of lobsters each, they have a total of 80 + 80 = 160 pounds of lobster. Since Hooper Bay has two times more lobsters than the other two harbors combined, it has 2 * 160 = 320 pounds of lobster. In total, the three harbors have 320 + 160 = 480 pounds of lobster. The answer is 480.
