Lizzy: Jamie is in a walking group with 4 other ladies. The ladies all walk 3 miles together. On top of that, Jamie walks an additional 2 miles per day for 6 days while her friend Sue walks half that amount in 6 days. If they walk this same route 6 days a week, how many miles do the ladies walk in total?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:

There are 5 ladies total in the group. They all walk 3 miles a day for 6 days so 3 * 6 = 18 miles. Jamie walks an additional 2 miles per day for 6 days so 2 * 6 = 12 miles. Sue walks half the distance of Jamie so 12 / 2 = 6 miles. Together, the ladies walk 18 + 12 + 6 = 36 miles. Final answer: 36.
