Question: When Pogo, the four-legged martian, walks across the soft Martian soil, it leaves 4 footprints every meter. But Grimzi, the three-legged Plutonian, leaves only 3 footprints in the soft sands of Pluto for every 6 meters it walks. If Pogo travels 6000 meters across the soil of Mars, and Grimzi travels for 6000 meters across the fine sands of Pluto, what is the combined total number of footprints the two creatures will leave on the surfaces of their respective planets?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Since Pogo leaves 4 prints per meter, then over 6000 meters it would leave 4 * 6000 = 24,000 footprints on the soils of Mars. Grimzi leaves 3 prints per 6 feet, or 3 / 6 = 0.5 footprints per meter. Then over 6000 meters, Grimzi leaves 0.5 * 6000 = 3000 footprints on the sands of Pluto. In total, the two creatures will leave 24,000 + 3000 = 27,000 footprints.
So the answer is 27000.


Question: Abigail built 10 fences. Each fence took her 30 minutes to build. If she builds fences for the next 8 hours, how many fences would she have built in total?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: 8 * 60 = 480 minutes are in the next 8 hours. Abigail builds 480 / 30 = 16 fences. Abigail will have built 10 + 16 = 26 fences in total.
So the answer is 26.


Question: Mr. Martinez is two feet taller than his daughter, Chiquita. If Chiquita is 5 feet tall, calculate their combined height.
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
If Chiquita is 5 feet tall, then Mr. Martinez is 5 + 2 = 7 feet tall. Together, their height is 7 + 5 = 12 feet.
So the answer is 12.
