Question: Marcy uses 6 ounces of pet cleaner to clean up a dog stain, 4 ounces to clean up a cat stain, and 1 ounce to clean up a rabbit stain. How much cleaner does she need to clean up after 6 dogs, 3 cats and 1 rabbit?
Answer: First find the total amount of cleaner used for the dogs: 6 ounces / dog * 6 dogs = 36 ounces. Then find the total amount of cleaner used for the cats: 4 ounces / cat * 3 cats = 12 ounces. Then add the amount of cleaner used for each species to find the total amount used: 36 ounces + 12 ounces + 1 ounce = 49 ounces. The answer is 49.
[Question]Jimmy wants to play in the inflatable swimming pool in his backyard. The swimming pool is empty and the garage is locked, so he cannot use the hose to fill the pool. He finds a 2 gallon bucket and calculates that it takes 20 seconds to fill the bucket from the tap and carry it to the pool where he pours in the water. If the pool holds 84 gallons of water, how many minutes will it take Jimmy to fill the pool?
[Answer]It will take 84 / 2 = 42 trips to fill the pool with water. This will take Jimmy 42 trips * 20 seconds per trip = 840 seconds. This means that Jimmy will spend 840 seconds * 1 minute / 60 seconds = 14 minutes filling the pool. The answer is 14.

[Answer]Kendra has 4 packs x 3 pens / pack = 12 pens. Tony has 2 packs x 3 pens / pack = 6 pens. In total Kendra and Tony have 12 pens + 6 pens = 18 pens. If they each keep 2 pens, they keep 2 x 2 = 4 pens. They will be able to give a pen to 18 pens - 4 pens = 14 of their friends. The answer is 14.
[Question]A dog barks 30 times per minute. If 2 dogs bark 30 times per minute, how many times will they have barked after 10 minutes?
