Reasoning and answer: On Monday, she spends 4 poodles * 2 hours = 8 hours walking poodles. On Monday, she spends 2 Chihuahuas * 1 hour = 2 hours walking Chihuahuas. On Tuesday, she spends 2 Chihuahuas * 1 hour = 2 hours walking Chihuahuas. On Wednesday, she spends 4 Labradors * 3 hours = 12 hours walking Labradors. Over the week, this is a total of 8 + 2 + 2 + 12 = 24 hours spent dog - walking. This means she still has 32 maximum hours – 24 used hours = 8 hours available for dog - walking. Therefore, she can walk 8 hours / 2 hours per poodle = 4 poodles on Tuesday.
The answer: 4

Question: Charlotte is a dog walker and is creating a schedule for all of her clients this week. Each dog is walked separately. On Monday, she needs to walk 4 poodles and 2 Chihuahuas. On Tuesday, she walks the same amount of Chihuahuas but isn't sure how many poodles she should walk. On Wednesday, she walks 4 Labradors. It takes 2 hours to walk a poodle, 1 hour to walk a Chihuahua, and 3 hours to walk a Labrador. If she has time for a total of 32 hours spent in dog-walking this week, how many poodles can Charlotte walk on Tuesday?


When Luke takes the 70 - minute bus to work, his coworker Paula takes 3 / 5 * 70 = 42 minutes to travel from home to work. From work to home, Paula spends the same amount of time she spent going to work, giving a total of 42 + 42 = 84 minutes in a day traveling. From work to home, while riding the bike, Luke spends 5 * 70 = 350 minutes on the road. The total time Luke takes to travel from home to work and back is 350 + 70 = 420 minutes. Together, Luke and Paula takes 420 + 84 = 504 minutes.
The answer: 504
Reverse engineering the question: Luke takes a 70-minute bus to work every day. His coworker Paula takes 3/5 of this time to arrive by bus at work. If Luke takes a bike ride back home every day, 5 times slower than the bus, and Paula takes the bus back home, calculate the total amount of time, in minutes, they take traveling from home to work and back each day.

If Edward needs to use 1 bolt per every five feet of piping, then for a job requiring 40 - feet of piping, he will use 40 / 5 = 8 tightening bolts. If for every 1 bolt he uses two washers, then he will need 8 * 2 = 16 washers to complete the job. if he buys a bag containing 20 washers, and removes 16, he will have 20 - 16 = 4 washers remaining in the bag.
The answer: 4
