Lizzy: Andrew's dog has 12 burrs and six times as many ticks as burrs. How many foreign objects total are caught in the dog's fur?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
First find how many burrs are caught in the dog's fur: 12 burrs * 6 ticks / burr = 72 ticks. Then add the number of burrs to find the total number objects: 72 objects + 12 objects = 84 objects. Final answer: 84.
