<human>:  2 tablespoons of popcorn kernels will make 4 cups of popcorn. For movie night, Joanie wants 3 cups of popcorn, Mitchell wants 4 cups of popcorn, Miles and Davis said they would split 6 cups of popcorn and Cliff said he would only eat 3 cups. How many tablespoons of popcorn kernels will they need?
<bot>: How many cups of popcorn do they want? ** If Joanie wants 3 cups, Mitchell wants 4 cups, Miles & Davis want 6 cups and Cliff wants 3 cups then they want 3+4+6+3 = <<3+4+6+3=16>>16 cups of popcorn
How many groups of 2 tablespoons are needed? ** Every 2 tablespoons makes 4 cups and they want 16 cups so 16/4 = <<16/4=4>>4 groups of 2 tablespoons are needed.
How many tablespoons of popcorn kernels will they need? ** Thus they need 4 * 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 tablespoons in total.
