Question: It takes 2.5 hours to groom a dog and 0.5 hours to groom a cat. What is the number of minutes it takes to groom 5 dogs and 3 cats?

[Question]Thirty students run in a charity race to raise money for the hurricane victims. Ten of the students raised $20 each. The rest of the students raised $30 each. How much did the students raise in all?
[Answer]Ten students raised a total of $20 x 10 = $200. There are 30 - 10 = 20 students who raised $30 each. Twenty students raised a total of $30 x 20 = $600. Therefore, the students raised a total of $200 + $600 = $800. The answer is 800.
Q: Shane prepares sandwiches for the Boy Scouts. He buys 2 packages of sliced bread containing 20 slices each, and he also buys 2 packages of sliced ham containing 8 slices each. Shane will make as many sandwiches as he can according to the ham he has. How many slices of bread will he have leftover?
A: With 2 packages of sliced ham, Shane has 2 * 8 = 16 slices of ham. Since he has 16 slices, Shane makes 16 sandwiches. With 2 packages of sliced bread, he has 20 * 2 = 40 slices of bread. To make the 16 sandwiches, he needs 16 * 2 = 32 slices of bread. He has 40 - 32 = 8 slices of bread leftover. The answer is 8.
Question: For every 12 cans you recycle, you receive $0.50, and for every 5 kilograms of newspapers, you receive $1.50. If your family collected 144 cans and 20 kilograms of newspapers, how much money would you receive?
Answer: There are 144 / 12 = 12 sets of 12 cans that the family collected. So, the family would receive $0.50 x 12 = $6 for the cans. There are 20 / 5 = 4 sets of 5 kilograms of newspapers that the family collected. So, the family would receive $1.50 x 4 = $6 for the newspapers. Therefore, the family would receive a total of $6 + $6 = $12. The answer is 12.
[Question]If you buy 2 packs of 500 mL milk, it will cost $2.50. If you buy them individually, they will cost $1.30 each. How much is your total savings from buying ten sets of 2 packs of 500 mL milk?
[Answer]The price per 500 mL milk from the 2 packs is $2.50 / 2 = $1.25. This means that for each pack of 500 mL milk, you can save $1.30 - $1.25 = $0.05. Ten sets of 2 packs mean 10 x 2 = 20 packs of 500 mL of milk. So, your total savings will be $0.05 x 20 = $1. The answer is 1.
[Question]Jason has a carriage house that he rents out. He’s charging $50.00 per day or $500.00 for 14 days. Eric wants to rent the house for 20 days. How much will it cost him?
[Answer]
He wants to rent for 20 days and there is a deal if you rent for 14 days so that leaves 20 - 14 = 6 individual days. Each individual day is $50.00 and he will have 6 individual days for a total of 50 * 6 = $300.00. 14 days costs $500.00 and 6 days costs $300.00 for a total of 500 + 300 = $800.00. The answer is 800.
