Q: Cowboy Mickey and cowgirl Minnie train horses for a living. On average, Mickey mounts six less than twice as many horses per day as does Minnie, while Minnie mounts three more horses per day than there are days in a week. How many horses does Mickey Mount per week?
A: If Minnie mounts three more horses per day than there are days in a week, then Minnie mounts 7 + 3 = 10 horses per day. Twice as many horses per day as Minnie mounts is 10 * 2 = 20 horses per day. If Mickey mounts six less than twice as many horses per day as does Minnie, then Mickey mounts 20 - 6 = 14 horses per day. Since there are 7 days in a week, then Mickey mounts 7 * 14 = 98 horses per week. The answer is 98.
Question: Daisy and Rose were enjoying their backyard pool with their dogs. If there are 24 legs/paws in the pool, how many dogs do Daisy and Rose have?
