Eddy’s spider plant produces 2 baby plants 2 times a year.  After 4 years, how many baby plants will the mother plant have produced?
The mother plant produces 2 baby plants 2 times a year so it produces 2*2 = <<2*2=4>>4 plants a year
It produces 4 plants a year so after 4 years it will produce 4*4 = <<4*4=16>>16 baby plants

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
You are solving math problems. Here are some examples of how to solve the task:

If Pete read twice as many books as Matt did last year, and this year he doubles that number while Matt reads only 50% more, how many books does Pete read across both years if Matt read 75 books in his second year?First, we need to find the amount Matt read both years to establish what Pete read, so to find Matt's first-year total we multiply 75 / 1.5 = <<75/1.5=50>>50 books the previous year.
Since Pete read twice as many books as Matt did in the first year, and Matt's first-year total is 50, this means Pete read 50*2=<<50*2=100>>100 books his first year.
Since Pete doubled the number of books he read the following year, this means Pete read 100*2=<<100*2=200>>200 books the following year.
We add the two years of Pete's reading together to find 200+100=<<200+100=300>>300 books read in total.

Sophie does 4 loads of laundry a week and uses 1 dryer sheet per load.  A box of dryer sheets costs $5.50 and has 104 dryer sheets in a box.  On her birthday, she was given wool dryer balls to use instead of dryer sheets.  How much money does she save in a year not buying dryer sheets?She does 4 loads of laundry a week and used 1 dryer sheet per load for a total of 4*1 = <<4*1=4>>4 dryer sheets in a week
She used 4 dryer sheets per week for 52 weeks for a total of 4*52 = <<4*52=208>>208 dryer sheets
Her box of dryer sheets has 104 sheets so she needs 208/104 = 2 boxes of dryer sheets
Each box costs $5.50 and she used 2 boxes so she now saves 5.50*2 = $<<5.50*2=11.00>>11.00 by not buying dryer sheets
