A pair of dogs are barking back and forth at each other from across the street. The poodle barks twice for every one time the terrier barks. The terrier’s owner hushes it every second time it barks. She has to say “hush” six times before the dogs stopped barking. How many times did the poodle bark?
How many times did the terrier bark? ** The terrier barked twice as many times as it was told to hush, so it barked 6 * 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 times.
How many times did the poodle bark? ** The poodle barked two times for every terrier bark, so it barked 12 * 2 = <<12*2=24>>24 times.
