Barbie and Bruno have a pile of 144 coconuts that they need to move from one side of their yard to the other side.  Barbie can carry 4 coconuts at a time, while Bruno can carry 8 coconuts at a time.  If they make trips together carrying their maximum number of coconuts each time, how many trips together would they need to make to move all of the coconuts?
Together, they would carry a combined total of 4+8=<<4+8=12>>12 coconuts per trip.
To move 144 coconuts, they would need to make 144/12=<<144/12=12>>12 trips.
