John visits three different countries.  He stays in the first country for 2 weeks and he spends twice as long in each of the other two countries.  How much time does he spend on the trip?
How many weeks does John spend in the other two countries? ** He spends 2*2=<<2*2=4>>4 weeks in the other two countries
How many weeks does John spend in the other two countries combined? ** So he spends 2*4=<<2*4=8>>8 weeks in those countries combined
How many weeks is John gone? ** That means he is gone for 2+8=<<2+8=10>>10 weeks
