Question: There are 26 chickens, 40 piglets, and 34 goats at Stacy’s farm. A really bad storm hits and half of all the animals get sick. How many animals in total get sick?
Answer: 26 / 2 = 13 chickens get sick. 40 / 2 = 20 piglets get sick. 34 / 2 = 17 goats get sick. In total, 13 + 20 + 17 = 50 animals get sick. The answer is 50.

Question: After five years, Ron will be four times as old as Maurice. If Ron's age now is 43, how old is Maurice now?
Answer: If Ron is 43 now, he will be 43 + 5 = 48 years old in five years. After five years, Ron will be four times as old as Maurice, meaning Maurice will be 48 / 4 = 12 years old then. Currently, Maurice is 12 - 5 = 7 years old. The answer is 7.

Question: It takes Bryan 5 minutes to walk from his house to the bus station. Then he rides the bus for 20 minutes. After that, he walks 5 minutes from the bus station to his job. It takes the same amount of time in the morning and the evening. How many hours per year does Bryan spend traveling to and from work, if he works every day?
Answer: Bryan spends 5 + 20 + 5 = 30 minutes traveling to work. He does this twice a day, so he spends 30 * 2 = 60 minutes traveling per day. Thus, he spends 60 / 60 = 1 hour traveling to and from work every day. Thus, he spends 1 hour * 365 days = 365 hours traveling per year. The answer is 365.

Question: The journey from Abel's house to Alice's house is 35 miles and is divided into 5 equal portions. Abel is driving at a speed of 40 miles per hour. After traveling for 0.7 hours, how many portions of the journey has he covered?
Answer:
35 miles into 5 equal portions will be 35 / 5 = 7 miles each. Abel traveled at a speed of 40 miles per hour for 0.7 hours so he will cover 40 * 0.7 = 28 miles. 7 miles make a portion so 28 miles is equivalent to 28 / 7 = 4 portions. The answer is 4.
