Q: Mariel is a dog walker. While walking her pack of dogs, she gets tangled up in the leashes of another dog walker and their 3 dogs. There are 36 legs tangled up in leashes. How many dogs is Mariel walking?
A: There are 2 dog walkers and they each have 2 legs so that's 2 * 2 = 4 legs. The other dog walker is walking 3 dogs that each have 4 legs so that's 3 * 4 = 12 legs. The dog walkers have 4 legs and the other dogs have 12 legs for a total of 4 + 12 = 16 legs. There are 36 legs total and 16 belong to the dog walkers and 3 dogs so that leaves 36 - 16 = 20 legs. Dogs have 4 legs and there are 20 legs so Mariel is walking 20 / 4 = 5 dogs. The answer is 5.
Question: Wallace runs a beef jerky company. The company dries the jerky low and slow, so one batch of jerky takes all night to make. Each batch can make 10 bags of jerky. Wallace received a customer order for 60 bags of jerky. If he has 20 bags of jerky already made, how many days will it be before he can fulfill the customer's order?
Answer: Wallace already has 20 bags of jerky, so he needs to make 60 - 20 = 40 bags more. He can make 10 bags per day, so he needs 40 / 10 = 4 days to fulfill the customer's order. The answer is 4.
[Question]Annie plants 3 pots of basil, 9 pots of rosemary, and 6 pots of thyme. Each basil plant has 4 leaves, each rosemary plant has 18 leaves, and each thyme plant has 30 leaves. How many leaves are there total?
[Answer]First find the total number of basil leaves: 3 pots * 4 leaves / pot = 12 leaves. Then find the total number of rosemary leaves: 9 pots * 18 leaves / pot = 162 leaves.
