conversations.value: Can you give me some step-by-step instructions for this math problem: Joy fosters dogs.  The mom foster dog eats 1.5 cups of food, three times a day.  The puppies each eat 1/2 cup of food, twice a day.  There are 5 puppies.  How much food will Joy need for the next 6 days?

conversations.value: The mom dog eats 1.5 cups of food * 3 = 4.5 cups per day.
  For 6 days the mom dog will need 6 * 4.5 cups = 27 cups of food.
  The puppies eat 1/2 cup of food * 2 = 1 cup per day.
  There are 5 puppies * 1 cup = 5 cups per day for the puppies.
  For the 6 days, the puppies will need 5 cups * 6 = 30 cups of food.
  Combined the dogs will need 27 cups + 30 cups = 57 cups.
