conversations.value: I need a clearer understanding of how to solve: Lily got a new puppy for her birthday.  She was responsible for feeding the puppy 1/4 cup of food three times a day for two weeks starting tomorrow.  For the following 2 weeks, Lily will feed him 1/2 cup of food twice a day.  She has fed him 1/2 cup of food today.  Including today, how much food will the puppy eat over the next 4 weeks?

conversations.value: 1 week has 7 days so 2 weeks will have 2*7 = 14 days
  The puppy will eat 1/4c three times a day so .25*3= .75 cups per day
  The puppy will eat .75 cups of food a day for 14 days for a total of .75*14 =10.5 cups
  The puppy will then eat `.5 cup of food twice a day so .5*2 = 1 cup per day
  The puppy will eat 1 cup of food a day for 14 days for a total of 1*14 = 14 cups per day
  She has already fed him .5 cup of food and he will eat 10.5 cups and another 14 cups for a total of .5+10.5+14 = 25 cups of food
