Question: Diane shows Sarah a game that deciphers at what age she will marry based on her name and current age. Sarah is 9 years old. The game consists of adding the number of letters in the player's name plus twice the player's age. According to the game, at what age will Sarah get married?
Answer: Sarah's name has 5 letters, so the first number to add is 5. The second number is twice Sarah's age, so it is 2 * 9 = 18. Adding the numbers together, the game predicts that Sarah will get married at 5 + 18 = 23 years old. The answer is 23.
[Question]Grace baked 4 whole pumpkin pies. She sold 1 whole pumpkin pie and gave 1 whole pumpkin pie to her friend. The remaining whole pumpkin pies were each sliced into 6 pieces. Her family ate 2/3 pieces. How many pieces of pumpkin pie were left?
