Matthew asked his children how many hotdogs they wanted for dinner. Both Ella and Emma agreed they wanted 2 hotdogs each. Luke said he could eat twice the amount of hotdogs as his sisters while Hunter said he could only eat 1 and half times the total amount of his sisters. How many hotdogs did Matthew need to cook? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
Ella wanted 2 while Emma wanted 2 so 2 + 2 = 4 hotdogs. Luke could eat twice as his sisters so 2 * 2 = 4 hotdogs. Hunter could eat 1 1 / 2 times the amount of his sisters so 1.5 * 4 = 6 hotdogs. All total, Matthew needs to cook, 4 + 4 + 6 = 18 hot dogs.
Therefore, the answer is 14.
