Melissa is repairing her shoes. For each shoe, it takes her 5 minutes to replace the buckle and 10 minutes to even out the heel. How many minutes does Melissa spend on this project total?
How many minutes does it take Melissa to replace the buckle and even out the heel? ** First find the total time Melissa spends per shoe: 5 minutes + 10 minutes = <<5+10=15>>15 minutes
How many minutes does Melissa spend on this project total? ** Then double that amount because there are 2 shoes: 15 minutes * 2 = <<15*2=30>>30 minutes
