Question: It takes Nissa 10 seconds to clip each of her cats' nails. 90 seconds to clean each of her ears, and 5 minutes to shampoo her. If the cat has four claws on each foot, how many seconds does grooming her cat take total?
Answer: First find the total number of claws the cat has: 4 claws / foot * 4 feet = 16 claws. Then find the total time Nissa spends cutting the claws: 16 claws * 10 seconds / claw = 160 seconds. Then find the total time she spends cleaning the cats' ears: 90 seconds / ear * 2 ears = 180 seconds. Then find how long the shampooing takes in seconds: 5 minutes * 60 seconds / minute = 300 seconds. Then add the time she spends on each task to find the total time she spends grooming the cat: 160 seconds + 180 seconds + 300 seconds = 640 seconds. The answer is 640.

Question: Jenna is hemming her prom dress. The dress's hem is 3 feet long. Each stitch Jenna makes is 1/4 inch long. If Jenna makes 24 stitches per minute, how many minutes does it take Jenna to hem her dress?
Answer:
First find how many inches the hem is by multiplying the length in feet by the number of inches per foot: 3 feet * 12 inches / foot = 36 inches. Then divide the length in inches by the length of each stitch to find how many stitches Jenna makes: 36 inches / .25 inches = 144 stitches. Then divide the number of stitches by Jenna's stitching rate to find how long it takes her: 144 stitches / 24 stitches / minute = 6 minutes. The answer is 6.
