Okay, so I don't know if you guys have a special way (i.e. cross multiplication or something) but I would do this.
If 2 groomers can brush 8 horses in 3 hours, how many can one groomer brush in 3 hours? Just cut your horses in half and you get 4. In 3hours, one groomer can brush 4 horses. But how many can 3 groomers do in 3 hours? To get that, just multiply 3 (your number of groomers) by 4 (how many horses one groomer can do), and you get 12 (the number of horses your groomer can groom in 3 hours. So there you go, the answer is 3. It'll take three groomers 3 hours to brush 12 horses.

Furkat [3]
Racket : 94
balls : 12.50
warm ups : 34
shorts : 19.95
shoes : 44.50
total with tax : 204.95 + .05(204.95) = 204.95 + 10.25 = 215.20

20 per lesson for 12 lessons : 20 * 12 = 240
12 miles 1 way....thats 24 miles round trip, at 0.42 per mile : 24(0.42) = 
10.08.....lessons and mileage : 240 + 10.08 = 250.08

for a total of : 215.20 + 250.08 = 465.28 <==

Andrew
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Let's say Bailey takes "b" days to paint it.

and Andrew takes "a" days to paint the same house.

now, Andrew is 6 times faster than Bailey, therefore, if Andrew takes "a" days to do it, Bailey takes then "6a" days, or b = 6a.

now, the year they worked together, they finished it in 7 days.

so, after 1 day then, they have only done 1/7 of the whole work.

and Andrew for one day, has done 1/a of the house, whilst Bailey has done 1/b of the house or 1/(6a).

\bf \stackrel{\textit{Andrew's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{a}}+\stackrel{\textit{Bailey's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{b}}=\stackrel{\textit{1 day of work}}{\cfrac{1}{7}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a}=\cfrac{1}{7}\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{let's multiply all by }\stackrel{LCD}{42a}\textit{ to toss the}\\&#10;denominators&#10;\end{array}

\bf 42a\left( \cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a} \right)=42a\left( \cfrac{1}{7} \right)\implies 42+7=6a\implies \cfrac{49}{6}=a&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\stackrel{days}{8\frac{1}{6}}=a&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{how many days will it take Bailey then?}\quad b=6a&#10;\\\\\\&#10;b=6\cdot \cfrac{49}{6}\implies b=\stackrel{days}{49}
