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.

[Question]Debra is the host of a country music radio show, and she broadcasts interviews with celebrity country music singers. Each week, she interviews three singers, one at a time. The first interview segment is always twice as long as the other two segments combined, and the third interview segment is always half as long as the second. If the third segment is 10 minutes long, how many minutes long is the entire show?
[Answer]
If the third segment is half as long as the second, then the second segment is twice as long as the third, or 10 * 2 = 20 minutes long. The first segment is twice as long as the other two combined, or 2 * (10 + 20) = 60 minutes. Thus, in total, the show is 10 + 20 + 60 = 90 minutes long. The answer is 90.
