Question: Irene shares half of a small apple with her dog every day. A small apple weighs about 1/4 of a pound. She can currently buy apples for $2.00 a pound. How much will she spend so that she and her dog have enough apples to last for 2 weeks?
Answer: There are 7 days in a week and she needs apples for 2 weeks so that's 7 * 2 = 14 days. She shares an apple with her dog every day so for 14 days so she needs 1 * 14 = 14 apples. Each apple weighs 1 / 4 of a pound and she needs 14 apples so that's .25 * 14 = 3.5 pounds of apples. She needs 3.5 pounds of apples and they are on sale for $2.00 a pound so she will spend 3.5 * 2 = $7.00 for apples. The answer is 7.

Question: During the soccer match, The Kickers scored 2 goals in the first period and twice that amount in the second period. The other team, The Spiders, scored half the amount that The Kickers scored in the first period and twice the amount that The Kickers scored in their second period. What is the total amount of goals both teams scored?
Answer: The Kickers scored twice as many as 2 goals in the second period, so 2 * 2 = 4 goals. The Spiders scored half as many as The Kickers' 2 goals from the 1st period so .5 * 2 = 1 goal in the first period. The Spiders scored twice as many as The Kickers' 4 goals from the second period, so 2 * 4 = 8 goals in the second period. Together, they scored 2 + 4 + 1 + 8 = 15 goals total. The answer is 15.

Question: Erin put 16 curlers in her hair. One-fourth of the curlers are small pink ones. There are twice as many medium blue curlers as there are pink ones. The rest are large green curlers. How many large green curlers does Erin have in her hair?
Answer: There are 16 curlers in all and of them are pink or 16 curlers / 4 = 4 pink curlers. There are twice as many blue curlers as there are pink ones, so there are 4 pink x 2 = 8 blue curlers. Together, there are 4 pink curlers + 8 blue curlers = 12 pink and blue curlers in Erin's hair. The remaining curlers are green, so of the 16 total curlers 12 pink and blue curlers = 4 green curlers are in Erin's hair. The answer is 4.
