Problem
Henry the donkey has a very long piece of pasta. He takes a number of bites of pasta, each time eating 
inches of pasta from the middle of one piece. In the end, he has 
pieces of pasta whose total length is 
inches. How long, in inches, was the piece of pasta he started with?
Solution
If there are pieces of pasta, Henry took 
bites. Each of these 
bites took inches of pasta out, and thus his bites in total took away 
inches of pasta. Thus, the original piece of pasta was 
inches long.
