Missy has an obedient dog and a stubborn dog. She has to yell at the stubborn dog four times for every one time she yells at the obedient dog. If she yells at the obedient dog 12 times, how many times does she yell at both dogs combined? | First find the number of times Missy yells at the stubborn dog: 4 * 12 times = <<4*12=48>>48 times
Then add the number of times she yells at the obedient dog to find the total number of times she yells: 48 times + 12 times = <<48+12=60>>60 times

TreQuan is throwing rocks in the river and he notices that the bigger the rock, the wider the splash. Pebbles make a splash that is a 1/4 meter wide. Rocks make a splash that is 1/2 a meter wide, and boulders create a splash that is 2 meters wide. If he tosses 6 pebbles, 3 rocks, and 2 boulders, what is the total width... | The pebble's total splash width is 1.5 meters because 6 times 1/4 equals <<6*1/4=1.5>>1.5.
The rock's total splash width is 1.5 meters because 3 times 1/2 equals <<3*1/2=1.5>>1.5.
The boulder's total splash width is 4 because 2 times 2 equals four.
The total splash width for all the rocks is 7 because 1.5 plus 1.5 plus... | Solve the following math problem and explain your reasoning step by step. | TreQuan is throwing rocks in the river and he notices that the bigger the rock, the wider the splash.
