Question: Billy buys a 12 pack of soda from the store. If he has twice as many brothers as sisters, and he has 2 sisters, how many sodas can he give to each of his siblings if he wants to give out the entire 12 pack while giving each the same number?
Answer: First, we need to determine how many siblings Billy has. To do this, we perform 2 * 2 = 4 brothers, as he has 2 sisters and twice as many brothers as sisters. Then we divide the total number of sodas in the 12 pack, which is 12, by the number of siblings, performing 12 / 6 = 2 cans per person. The answer is 2.
[Question]Zoe goes to the store to buy soda and pizza for herself and her 5 family members. Each bottle of soda costs half a dollar and each slice of pizza costs $1. Before she leaves her house she takes just enough money to pay for her purchase. How much money did Zoe take?
[Answer]Zoe is going to buy pizza and soda for 5 people + 1 person = 6 people. For 6 sodas, Zoe will pay 6 sodas * $0.5 / soda = $3. For 6 slices of pizza, she will pay 6 slices * $1 / slice = $6. Adding the price of the soda and pizza, Zoe paid $3 + $6 = $9. The answer is 9.

[Question]The ratio of boys to girls in a math class is 5:8. How many girls are in the class if the total number of students in the class is 260?
[Answer]If the ratio of boys to girls in the math class is 5:8, the total ratio of the number of boys and girls in the math class is 5 + 8 = 13. The fraction that represents the number of boys in the class is 5 / 13, and since there are 260 students in the class, the number of boys in the class is 5 / 13 * 260 = 100. The number of girls in the class is 260 - 100 = 160. The answer is 160.
