A bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds and each individual ear of corn weighs .5 pounds.  If Clyde picked 2 bushels of corn over the weekend, how many individual corn cobs did he pick?
He picked 2 bushels of corn and each bushel weighs 56 pounds so he picked 2*56 = <<2*56=112>>112 pounds of corn
Each ear of corn weighs .5 pounds and he has 112 pounds of corn so he picked 112/.5 = <<112/.5=224>>224 ears of corn
