Question: Cynthia has four times as many water balloons as her husband, Randy. Randy has only half as many water balloons as his daughter, Janice. If Janice throws all 6 of her water balloons at her father, how many water balloons does Cynthia have, which she could also choose to throw at Randy? Think carefully first, then make a decision:

Randy has only half as many water balloons as Janice’s 6, for a total of (½) * 6 = 3 water balloons. Cynthia has 4 times as many water balloons as Randy, for a total of 4 * 3 = 12 water balloons. So the answer is 12.
