She has 108 * 4 = 432 ears of corn to shuck. She gets 500 kernels of corn from half the ears and 500 + 100 = 600 kernels from the other half. Half the number of ears of corn is 432 / 2 = 216 ears. Thus, Hilary has 216 * 500 + 216 * 600 = 108000 + 129600 = 237600 kernels to shuck.
The answer: 237600

Reasoning and answer: The jars allow him to make 48 pickles because 4 x 12 = 48. The cucumbers allow him to make 60 pickles because 10 x 6 = 60. The vinegar allows him to make 10 jars of pickles because 100 / 10 = 10. The vinegar is enough to make 60 pickles because 10 x 6 = 60. He can make 48 pickles because 48 < 60. He needs 4 jars to make this because 48 / 12 = 4. He needs 40 ounces of vinegar because 4 x 10 = 40. He has 60 ounces remaining because 100 - 40 = 60.
The answer: 60

Reasoning and answer: Since 1 dozen is equal to 12, then Samuel has 2 x 12 = 24 doughnuts. While Cathy has 3 x 12 = 36. They both have 24 + 36 = 60 doughnuts together. There are 8 friends + 1 (Samuel) + 1 (Cathy) = 10 that will share the doughnuts. Thus, each of them will get 60 / 10 = 6 doughnuts.
The answer: 6
