Question: Haleigh needs to buy leggings for her pet animals. She has 4 dogs and 3 cats. How many pairs of leggings does she need?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The dogs have 16 total legs because 4 times 4 equals 16. The cats have 12 total legs because 4 times 3 equals 12. There are 28 total legs because 16 plus 12 equals 28. She needs to buy 14 pairs because 28 divided by two equals 14.
So the answer is 14.


Question: When Herman’s team is busy working on large projects he stops at the drive-through 5 days, every week to buy a breakfast combo for himself and 3 members of his team. Each meal costs $4.00. This current project will last 16 weeks. How much will Herman spend on breakfast?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Herman buys himself and 3 team members breakfast 5 days a week so that’s 4 * 5 = 20 breakfast combo meals. Each combo meals costs $4.00 and he buys 20 of them a week so that’s 4 * 20 = $80.00. Over a 16 week period he spends 16 * 80 = $1,280.00 on breakfast.
So the answer is 1280.


Question: For Mother's Day last year, Kyle picked a dozen roses from his garden, but this year, he was only able to pick half the number of roses. If Kyle wants to give his mother a bouquet with twice as many roses as last year and the grocery store sells one rose for $3, how much would Kyle have to spend?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
This year, Kyle was only able to pick 12 / 2 = 6 roses. He wants to give his mother 12 x 2 = 24 roses. He still needs another 24 - 6 = 18 roses. He would have to spend 18 x 3 = $54.
So the answer is 54.
