Answer the following question.
Helen cuts her lawn starting in March and finishes in October. Her lawn mower uses 2 gallons of gas every 4th time she cuts her lawn. For March, April, September and October, she only cuts her law 2 times per month. In May, June, July and August, she has to cut her lawn 4 times per month. How many gallons of gas will she need to cut her lawn from March through October?
Step-by-step reasoning process: For March, April, September and October, she cuts her lawn 2 a month. There are 4 months so she cuts her yard 2 * 4 = 8 times. For May, June, July and August, she cuts her lawn 4 times a month. There are 4 months so she cuts her yard 4 * 4 = 16 times. During the entire 8 month period, she cuts her lawn 8 + 16 = 24 times. Every 4th time she cuts, she needs 2 gallons of gas. If she cuts her lawn 24 times a year then she needs to fill up 24 / 4 = 6 times. Each time she fills up, it takes 2 gallons of gas so 2 * 6 = 12 gallons of gas per year.
The answer is 12.

Answer the following question.
Amy is collecting candy for the car pool. She has 5 chocolate bars, 7 times as many M&Ms as chocolate bars, and 6 times as many marshmallows as M&Ms. Amy then arranges the candies into baskets. If she fills each basket with 10 candies, how many baskets will Amy fill?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Amy has 5 * 7 = 35 M&Ms. Amy has 35 * 6 = 210 marshmallows. Amy has 5 + 35 + 210 = 250 candies. She fills 250 / 10 = 25 baskets.
