Answer this question:Ivory and Brayan are doing school projects with a tight deadline and have to stay up late to complete everything. They prepare coffee to help them stay focused. If Brayan drinks twice as much coffee as Ivory, and Brayan drinks 4 cups of coffee in an hour, calculate the total number of cups of coffee they drink together in 5 hours.
If Brayan drinks 4 cups of coffee in an hour, twice what Ivory drinks, then Ivory drinks 4 / 2 = 2 cups of coffee in an hour. Together, they drink 4 + 2 = 6 cups of coffee in an hour. After 5 hours, they will drink 5 * 6 = 30 cups of coffee together.
The answer is 30.

Answer this question:Karen's work tote bag is twice the weight of her husband Kevin's briefcase when the briefcase is empty. When Kevin puts his laptop and work papers in his briefcase, it is twice the weight of Karen's tote. Kevin's work papers are a sixth of the weight of the contents of his full briefcase. If Karen's tote weighs 8 pounds, how many more pounds does Kevin's laptop weigh than Karen's tote?
Kevin's full briefcase is 2 * 8 = 16 pounds. His empty briefcase is 8 / 2 = 4 pounds. The contents of his briefcase weigh 16 - 4 = 12 pounds. His work papers weigh 12 / 6 = 2 pounds. Thus, his laptop weighs 12 - 2 = 10 pounds. Therefore, Kevin's laptop weighs 10 - 8 = 2 pounds more than Karen's tote.
The answer is 2.
