Question: Abigail is trying a new recipe for a cold drink. It uses 1/4 of a cup of iced tea and 1 and 1/4 of a cup of lemonade to make one drink. If she fills a pitcher with 18 total cups of this drink, how many cups of lemonade are in the pitcher?
Answer: Each drink uses 1.5 cups because 1 / 4 cup + 1 and 1 / 4 cup = 1.5 cups. The pitcher contains 12 total drinks because 18 / 1.5 = 12. There are 15 cups of lemonade in the pitcher because 12 x 1 and 1 / 4 = 15. The answer is 15.
[Question]Susan wants to throw a party for her mom. She is planning on having 30 guests. For dinner she is making a recipe that makes 2 servings each. Each batch of the recipe calls for 4 potatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt. A potato costs $.10 and a container of salt costs $2 at the supermarket. If each container of salt has 5 teaspoons, how much money will Susan spend on food?
[Answer]Susan needs to make 30 / 2 = 15 batches of the recipe. Therefore, she will need 15 * 4 = 60 potatoes. She will also need 1 * 15 = 15 teaspoons of salt. Thus she will have to buy 15 / 5 = 3 containers of salt. Therefore, she will spend 60 * $.1 = $6 on potatoes and 3 * $2 = $6 on salt. Thus, she will spend $6 + $6 = $12 on food. The answer is 12.

[Question]Jenny's local library received 50 visitors on Monday. On Tuesday, the library received twice that number. On the remaining days of the week, an average of 20 visitors went to the library. What's the total number of visitors who went to the library that week?
[Answer]
On Monday, there were 50 visitors. On Tuesday, there were twice as many, so 2 * 50 = 100 visitors. The total number of visitors after Tuesday will be 100 + 50 = 150 visitors. For the remaining 5 days, an average of 20 visitors attended, giving a total of 5 * 20 = 100 visitors. The total number of visitors who visited the library for the week was 100 + 150 = 250 visitors. The answer is 250.
