Georgia is sick and coughs 5 times a minute. Her brother Robert is also sick but he coughs twice as much as her. After 20 minutes, how many times have they coughed? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Robert coughs twice as much as Georgia who coughs 5 times so Robert coughs 2 * 5 = 10 coughs per minute. Georgia coughs 5 times and Robert coughs 10 times so together they cough 5 + 10 = 15 times per minute. After 20 minutes they will have coughed 15 * 20 = 300 coughs. So the final answer is 300.
