Question: Jane is painting her fingernails. She applies a base coat that takes 2 minutes to dry, two color coats that take 3 minutes each to dry, and a clear top coat that takes 5 minutes to dry. How many minutes total does Jane spend waiting for her nail polish to dry? Is final answer 13?
Answer: First figure out how long both color coats will take to dry: 3 minutes * 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 minutes
Then add up the time for the base coat, top coat, and color coats: 6 minutes + 2 minutes + 5 minutes = <<6+2+5=13>>13 minutes
