Decomposing a Word Problem with Relative Quantities
Solving a word problem with chained relative quantities requires breaking it down into sequential steps. For example, to find the total number of beads for a project where Alice has twice as many as Bob, and Bob has five times as many as Charlie, the main question cannot be answered directly. It must first be decomposed into the prerequisite sub-questions: 'How many beads does Bob have?' and 'How many beads does Alice have?'. Answering these allows for the final calculation of the total.

Example Calculation of a Total from Chained Relative Quantities
A team is building a tower with three types of blocks: red, blue, and green. They plan to use twice as many red blocks as blue blocks, and half as many blue blocks as green blocks. To find the total number of blocks needed if they start with 80 green blocks, which sequence of questions correctly breaks down the problem?
