Question: Bob is going to put in a vegetable garden on his property. It's going to be in one of the back corners of his land. He wants the width of the garden to be about an eighth of the width of his property, and the length to be a tenth of the length of his property. His land is 1000 feet wide and 2250 feet long. How many square feet is his garden going to be?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The width of his garden is going to be 1000 / 8 = 125 feet. The length of his garden is going to be 2250 / 10 = 225 feet. So the area of his garden is going to be 125 X 225 = 28125 square feet.
So the answer is 28125.


Question: Briar is attending a one-week community empowerment event and has to take a cab ride to the event and back home every day. A cab ride costs $2.5 per mile. If the event is 200 miles away from Briar's home, calculate the total amount of money the cab rides cost would be at the end of the event?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: If a cab ride costs $2.5 per mile, and Briar has to go to an event 200 miles away, he will spend 200 * $2.5 = $500 one way to the trip. Since the round trip is also 200 miles and Briar is charged $500, the total amount he spends in a day to go to the event and back is $500 + $500 = $1000. The event is one week, meaning Briar will have to spend $1000 * 7 = $7000 on the cab rides.
So the answer is 7000.


Question: A dog barks 30 times per minute. If 2 dogs bark 30 times per minute, how many times will they have barked after 10 minutes?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
There are 2 dogs and they each bark 30 times per minute so together they bark 2 * 30 = 60 times per minute. 2 dogs bark a combined total of 60 times per minutes, after 10 minutes they will have barked 60 * 10 = 600 times.
So the answer is 600.
