<human>:  Tom invites his parents and 3 siblings to his house. They each eat 3 times a day. How many plates do Tom and his guests use while they are there for the 4 days if each person uses 2 plates per meal?
<bot>: How many people were there? ** There were 1+2+3=<<1+2+3=6>>6 people at the house
How many plates do Tom and his guests use while they are there for the 4 days? ** That means they use 6*2=<<6*2=12>>12 plates per meal
How many plates do Tom and his guests use while they are there for the 4 days? ** So they use 12*3=<<12*3=36>>36 plates per day
How many plates do Tom and his guests use while they are there for the 4 days? ** That means they use 36*4=<<36*4=144>>144 plates for the visit
