[Question]Oliver wonders how much water his bathtub can hold. So he takes a bucket that holds 120 ounces and starts filling the bathtub. When it reaches the top, he sees that he filled it 14 times. Then he wonders how much bathwater he uses, so he starts taking away buckets until it gets to the level he puts it at. He needs to take away 3 buckets to do this. Finally, he wonders how much water he uses in a week for his baths, which he takes every day. How much water does he use each week?
[Answer]He uses 11 buckets to fill his bath normally because 14 - 3 = 11. He uses 1, 320 ounces a day for his baths because 11 x 120 = 1,320. He uses 9, 240 ounces a week for his baths because 7 x 1,320 = 9,240. The answer is 9240.

[Question]Charlotte is a dog walker and is creating a schedule for all of her clients this week. Each dog is walked separately. On Monday, she needs to walk 4 poodles and 2 Chihuahuas. On Tuesday, she walks the same amount of Chihuahuas but isn't sure how many poodles she should walk. On Wednesday, she walks 4 Labradors. It takes 2 hours to walk a poodle, 1 hour to walk a Chihuahua, and 3 hours to walk a Labrador. If she has time for a total of 32 hours spent in dog-walking this week, how many poodles can Charlotte walk on Tuesday?
[Answer]
On Monday, she spends 4 poodles * 2 hours = 8 hours walking poodles. On Monday, she spends 2 Chihuahuas * 1 hour = 2 hours walking Chihuahuas. On Tuesday, she spends 2 Chihuahuas * 1 hour = 2 hours walking Chihuahuas. On Wednesday, she spends 4 Labradors * 3 hours = 12 hours walking Labradors. Over the week, this is a total of 8 + 2 + 2 + 12 = 24 hours spent dog - walking. This means she still has 32 maximum hours 24 used hours = 8 hours available for dog - walking. Therefore, she can walk 8 hours / 2 hours per poodle = 4 poodles on Tuesday. The answer is 4.
