conversations.value: A mother duck as 8 ducklings. The first 3 ducklings find 5 snails each. Another 3 ducklings find 9 snails each, and the remaining ducklings each find half the number of snails that mother duck finds. If mother duck finds tree times the total number of snails as the first 2 groups of ducklings, how many snails does the family of ducks have collectively?
  Work out the solution step by step.

conversations.value: The first 3 ducklings find 3 x 5 = 15 snails
  The next 3 ducklings find 3 x 9 = 27 snails
  They find a total of 15 + 27 = 42 snails
  Mother duck finds 42 x 3 = 126 snails
  The last group has 8 - 3 - 3 = 2 ducklings
  They find 126/2 = 63 snails each
  The family of ducks found a total of 42 +126 + 63 + 63 = 294 snails
