conversations.value: Can you give me some step-by-step instructions for this math problem: 8 jumbo scallops weigh one pound and cost $24.00 a pound.  Nate is pairing 2 scallops with a corn bisque as a light summer dinner.  He’s cooking for 8 people.  How much will the scallops cost?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: He’s cooking for 8 people and wants to serve 2 scallops per person so he needs 8*2 = 16 scallops
  8 jumbo scallops come in 1 pound and he needs 16 scallops so he will need 16/8 = 2 pounds of scallops
  A pound of scallops weigh $24.00 and he needs 2 pounds so it will cost him 24*2 = $48.00 for scallops
