Mary only has 8 screws on hand and needs to buy 2 times more to fix her sink. When she is beginning repairs, she has to split the screws into four sections. How many are in each pile?
How many screws did Mary originally have? ** Mary originally had 8 screws, then went to buy twice more screws and ended up with 8+(8*2)=<<8+8*2=24>>24 of them.
How many screws did Mary split into four piles? ** She then split them into four piles of 24/4=<<24/4=6>>6.
