conversations.value: If Ken's house is twice as far from Dawn's house as Mary's house along a certain road, and Ken's house is 4 miles away from Dawn's house along this same road, how much distance (in miles) will Ken cover if he goes from his house to Dawn's house, then Mary's, then back to Dawn's before going back to his own house?
  Give me a solution to this problem
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: Ken's house is twice as far from Dawn's house as Mary's, so the distance between Ken's and Mary's is half that between Ken's and Dawn's (4 miles) which means the former is (1/2)*4 miles = 2 miles
  If Ken goes from his house to Dawn's, he has covered 4 miles
  He goes from there to Mary's (2 miles, same as Ken's to Mary's) for a total of 4+2 = 6 miles.
  He goes back to Dawn's (another 2 miles) for a total of 6+2 = 8 miles
  Then he goes to his own house (4 miles) for a final total of 8+4 = 12 miles
