Question: Aubrey has a deck of cards with 52 cards in it. She then adds two additional cards to the deck. If she splits the deck evenly among herself and two other players, how many cards does each player have?
Answer: The deck has 54 cards because 52 + 2 = 54. There are three players because 1 + 2 = 3. Each player gets 18 cards because 54 / 3 = 18. The answer is 18.

Question: The age of a lioness in a park is twice the age of a hyena in the same park. The lioness is 12 years old. If the babies of the two animals are half the age of their mothers, calculate the sum of the age of the babies in five years.
Answer: If the lioness is 12 years old, the hyena, half her age, is 12 / 2 = 6 years old. The baby of the lioness is 12 / 2 = 6 years old, half the mother's age. Five years from now, the age of the lioness's cub will be 6 + 5 = 11. The baby of the hyena is 6 / 2 = 3 years old, which is half the mother's age. The hyena's baby will be 3 + 5 = 8 years old in five years. Together, the total age of the babies will be 8 + 11 = 19 years in five years. The answer is 19.

Question: Sandra has a box of apples that weighs 120 pounds. She's going to use half the weight in apples to make applesauce. The rest will be used to make apple pies. She needs 4 pounds of apples per pie. How many pies will she be able to make?
Answer: The box weighs 120 pounds and she's going to use half of it to make applesauce so she'll use 120 / 2 = 60 pounds for applesauce. The box weighs 120 pounds and she'll use 60 pounds for applesauce so that leaves 120 - 60 = 60 pounds of apples. She has 60 pounds of apples and she needs 4 pounds to make a pie so she can make 60 / 4 = 15 pies. The answer is 15.

During the race, there were five ads, lasting 3 minutes each, so in total, they lasted 5 * 3 = 15 minutes. So the total cost of these ads was 15 * 4000 = $60000. The answer is 60000.
