Grandma and Grandpa are having the family over for Thanksgiving dinner. They need to know how many
chairs to set out. Grandma and Grandpa have six children. Each of those six children grew up, got married, and have four children of their own. The four children grew up, got married, and have two children of their own. Everyone is coming for dinner! How many people will be present?
Well......we have 2 to start with
Then we add 12 with their 6 children and their spouses
Then......each of the 6 couples has 4 children.....so that adds 24 to the mix
Then....each of the 24 adds a spouse......so that's 24 more
And each of these 24 couples has 2 children. so that adds 48 more
So...the total number of people will be 2 + 12 + 24 + 24 + 48 = 110
