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? Think carefully first, then make a decision:

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. So the answer is 15.
