For this month, Lily wants to finish reading twice as many books as she finished last month. If she finished reading 4 books last month, what will be the total number of books that she will finish for two months?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
This month, Lily wants to finish reading 4 x 2 = 8 books. So, for two months, she will finish reading 4 + 8 = 12 books.
Thus, the answer is 12.
