Carla can cook a batch of waffles in 10 minutes and chicken-fried steak in 6 minutes. How long will it take her to cook 3 steaks and a batch of waffles?
assistant
How long will it take to cook the steaks? ** First find the total cook time for the steaks: 3 steaks * 6 minutes/steak = <<3*6=18>>18 minutes
How long will it take to cook the steaks and the waffles? ** Then add the waffles' cook time to find the total cook time: 18 minutes + 10 minutes = <<18+10=28>>28 minutes
