It takes 2.5 hours to groom a dog and 0.5 hours to groom a cat. What is the number of minutes it takes to groom 5 dogs and 3 cats? Give me reasons, before answering the question
2.5 * 5 = 12.5 hours. 0.5 * 3 = 1.5 hours. 12.5 + 1.5 hours = 14 hours. 14 hours = 14 * 60 = 840 minutes. It would take 840 minutes to groom 5 dogs and 3 cats. So the final answer is 840.
