Question: Julia had to make 6 cakes for the party. Each cake takes 12 minutes to mix and needs 9 more minutes to bake than mix. Then it takes 6 more minutes to cool and decorate than to bake. How many hours will it take to make all 6 cakes?
Answer: It takes 12 + 9 = 21 minutes to bake each cake. It takes 21 + 6 = 27 minutes to cool and decorate each cake. Therefore, it takes a total of 12 + 21 + 27 = 60 minutes to make one cake. Thus, it takes 60 / 60 = 1 hour to bake one cake. So, it will take 1 x 6 = 6 hours to bake all 6 cakes. The answer is 6.

A: The goats cost 3 * 400 = $1200. He buys 3 * 2 = 6 llamas. Each llama cost 400 * 1.5 = $600. So he spends 600 * 6 = $3600 on llamas. So the total cost was 1200 + 3600 = $4800. The answer is 4800.

Q: Hugo's mountain has an elevation of 10,000 feet above sea level. Boris' mountain has an elevation that is 2,500 feet shorter than Hugo's mountain. If Hugo climbed his mountain 3 times, how many times would Boris need to climb his mountain to have climbed the same number of feet as Hugo?
A:
Boris' mountain has an elevation 2,500 feet shorter than Hugo's mountain, or 10,000 - 2,500 = 7500 feet above sea level. If Hugo climbed his mountain 3 times, his total climbing distance would be 3 * 10,000 = 30,000 feet. To climb a total of 30,000 feet, Boris would need to need to climb his mountain 30,000 / 7,500 = 4 times. The answer is 4.
