Missy has an obedient dog and a stubborn dog. She has to yell at the stubborn dog four times for every one time she yells at the obedient dog. If she yells at the obedient dog 12 times, how many times does she yell at both dogs combined?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
First find the number of times Missy yells at the stubborn dog: 4 * 12 times = 48 times. Then add the number of times she yells at the obedient dog to find the total number of times she yells: 48 times + 12 times = 60 times.
Thus, the answer is 60.
