Ben's potato gun can launch a potato 6 football fields. If a football field is 200 yards long and Ben's dog can run 400 feet/minute, how many minutes will it take his dog to fetch a potato he launches?
Let's think: First find the total distance the potato flies in yards: 200 yards / field * 6 fields = 1200 yards. Then multiply that number by the number of feet per yard to convert it to feet: 1200 yards * 3 feet / yard = 3600 feet. Then divide that number by the dog's speed to find the number of minutes it has to run to fetch the potato: 3600 feet / 400 feet / minute = 9 minutes.. The answer is: 9.

Ali is a baker. Leila ordered 3 chocolate cakes for $12 each and 6 strawberry cakes for $22 each. How much should Leila pay Ali?
Let's think: For the chocolate cakes: Leila should pay: 12 * 3 = $36. For the strawberry cakes: Leila should pay: 22 * 6 = $132. Combining the chocolate cakes and strawberry cakes, Leila should pay: 36 + 132 = $168.. The answer is: 168.

The students at Evelyn's school are keeping journals. They have 3 journal-writing sessions per week. Each student writes 4 pages in each session. How many journal pages will each student write in 6 weeks?
Let's think: In a week, a student writes 3 * 4 = 12 pages. So in 6 weeks, each student will write 12 * 6 = 72 pages.. The answer is: 72.

James buys 3 CDs. Two of them are 1.5 hours each. The last one is twice that long. What is the combined length of the CDs?
Let's think:
The long CD is 1.5 * 2 = 3 hours. The two shorter CDs have a combined length of 1.5 * 2 = 3 hours. So in total the CDs had a length of 3 + 3 = 6 hours.. The answer is: 6.
