[Question]A school has 100 students. Half of the students are girls, the other half are boys. 20% of the girls have dogs at home and 10% of the boys have dogs at home. How many students own dogs?
[Answer]Out of 100 students, half are girls and half are boys so there are 100 / 2 = 50 girls. There are 50 girls out of 100 students means there are 100 - 50 = 50 boys. 20% of the 50 girls have dogs so they have .20 * 50 = 10 dogs. 10% of the 50 boys have dogs so they have .10 * 50 = 5 dogs. The girls have 10 dogs and the boys have 5 dogs so together, they have 10 + 5 = 15 dogs. The answer is 15.
Q: There are six unicorns in the Enchanted Forest. Everywhere a unicorn steps, four flowers spring into bloom. The six unicorns are going to walk all the way across the forest side-by-side, a journey of 9 kilometers. If each unicorn moves 3 meters forward with each step, how many flowers bloom because of this trip?
A: First convert the total length of the journey from kilometers to meters: 9 kilometers * 1000 meters / kilometer = 9000 meters. Then divide this by the length of one step to find the number of steps in the journey: 9000 meters / 3 meters / step = 3000 steps. Then multiply the number of steps by the number of flowers per step to find how many flowers one unicorn creates on the journey: 3000 steps * 4 flowers / step = 12000 flowers. Then multiply the number of flowers per unicorn by the number of unicorns to find the total number of flowers created: 12000 flowers / unicorn * 6 unicorns = 72,000 flowers. The answer is 72000.
