There are 6 times as many lab coats as uniforms in the lab. The number of lab techs is half of the number of uniforms. If there are 12 uniforms in the lab, and the lab techs share the coats and uniforms equally among them, how many coats and uniforms in total does each lab tech get? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
If there are 12 uniforms, and the lab coats are 6 times as many as the number of uniforms, there are 6 * 12 = 72 lab coats. The total number of lab coats and uniforms in the lab is 72 + 12 = 84. If the number of lab techs is half the number of uniforms, then there are 12 / 2 = 6 lab techs. If they share the lab coats and uniforms equally, each lab tech will get 84 / 6 = 14 lab coats and uniforms. So, the answer is 14.
