It takes 40 minutes to freeze ice cubes and 3 minutes per smoothie to turn them into smoothies once they're frozen. How long does it take to make 5 smoothies?
First find the total time spend making the smoothies: 5 smoothies * 3 minutes/smoothie = <<5*3=15>>15 minutes
Then add that amount of time to the time freezing the ice cubes to find the total time spent: 15 minutes + 40 minutes = <<15+40=55>>55 minutes
