Q: At the salad bar, Grandma put three mushrooms on her salad.  She also added twice as many cherry tomatoes as mushrooms, 4 times as many pickles as cherry tomatoes, and 4 times as many bacon bits as pickles.  If one third of the bacon bits were red, than how many red bacon bits did Grandma put on her salad?

A: Twice as many tomatoes as mushrooms is 3*2=<<3*2=6>>6 tomatoes.
Four times as many pickles as tomatoes is 4*6=<<4*6=24>>24 pickles.
Four times as many bacon bits as pickles is 24*4=<<24*4=96>>96 bacon bits.
One third of 96 is 96/3=<<96/3=32>>32 red bacon bits. The answer is  32.
