2 word problems!!! NEED HELP!! thank youuuuu.

[GlueStick1]

1--There are 12 horses on the merry-go-round evenly spaced on the outside perimeter. It took 4 seconds for the 4th one to reach Abe (starting when the 1st one was opposite him). How long will it take the merry-go-round to go around one?

2--9 people at a cookie exchange each brough a dozen cookies for each other person. How many cookies were brought to this exchange?

1) How does "Abe" relate to the merry-go-round? (The problem doesn't seem to say.)

2) How many people did each person provide for? So how many dozens were brought? How many are in a dozen? So how many cookies were brought?
