<human>:  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?
<bot>: How many coconuts would they carry together? ** Together, they would carry a combined total of 4+8=<<4+8=12>>12 coconuts per trip.
How many trips would they need to make? ** To move 144 coconuts, they would need to make 144/12=<<144/12=12>>12 trips.
