Step-by-step reasoning process: Ann had 3 dozen oatmeal cookies - 2 dozen = 1 dozen oatmeal cookies left. Ann had 2 dozen sugar cookies - 1.5 dozen = .5 dozen sugar cookies left. Ann had 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies - 2.5 dozen = 1.5 dozen chocolate chip cookies left. Ann has a total of 1 + .5 + 1.5 dozen cookies = 3 dozen cookies. 3 dozen cookies is 3 * 12 cookies = 36 cookies remaining.
[Q & A] The question is Ann is baking cookies. She bakes three dozen oatmeal raisin cookies, two dozen sugar cookies, and four dozen chocolate chip cookies. Ann gives away two dozen oatmeal raisin cookies, 1.5 dozen sugar cookies, and 2.5 dozen chocolate chip cookies. How many total cookies does she keep?
The answer is 36

Step-by-step reasoning process: The Adidas purchase was 1 / 5 that of Skechers, therefore the Skechers cost 5 * 600 = 3000 dollars. Spending three times the cost of Adidas on Nike sneakers translates to 3 * 600 = 1800 dollars. All together, the three athletic - sneaker purchases cost Mimi 600 + 1800 + 3000 = 5400 dollars. Subtracting the amount spent on athletic sneakers from the total spent gives 8000 - 5400 = 2600 dollars. Mimi therefore spent 2600 dollars on clothes.
[Q & A] The question is Mimi has decided to start going to the gym again. Over the weekend, she spent $8,000 on athletic sneakers and clothes. She spent thrice as much on Nike sneakers as she did on Adidas. What she spent on Adidas was 1/5 the cost of Skechers. If Mimi's Adidas sneakers purchase was $600, what amount did she spend on clothes?
The answer is 2600

Step-by-step reasoning process: If the shadows lengthen by 5 feet per hour, this means that in 6 hours the shadows would have lengthened from zero to 5 * 6 = 30 feet. Since there are 12 inches in every foot, this means the building's shadow would be 30 * 12 = 360 inches in length.
[Q & A] The question is Every hour past noon shadows from a building stretch an extra 5 feet, starting at zero at noon. How long are the shadows from the building 6 hours past noon in inches?
The answer is 360
