[Question]Samira is the assistant coach of a soccer team playing against one of the best teams in their league. She has four dozen water bottles filled with water in a box. In the first break of the match, the 11 players on the field each take two bottles of water from Samira's box, and at the end of the game, take one more bottle each. How many bottles of water are remaining in Samira's box?
[Answer]If the box has four dozen bottles of water, there are 4 * 12 = 48 bottles of water in the box. After the first half, the 11 players take 11 * 2 = 22 bottles of water from the box. If they take 11 more bottles of water at the end of the game, the number increases to 22 + 11 = 33 bottles of water taken. Without the bottles taken, there are 48 - 33 = 15 bottles of water remaining in the box. The answer is 15.

[Question]Colleen is making a batch of 48 cookies. She's going to add 108 chocolate chips and one-third as many M&Ms to the whole batch. What are the average number of chocolate pieces in each cookie?
[Answer]First find the total number of M&Ms: 108 chocolate chips / 3 chocolate chips / 1 M&M = 36 M&Ms. Then add that number to the number of chocolate chips to find the total number of pieces of chocolate: 36 M&Ms + 108 chocolate chips = 144 chocolates. Then divide the total number of chocolates by the number of cookies to find the number of pieces of chocolate per cookie: 144 chocolates / 48 cookies = 3 chocolates / cookie. The answer is 3.

[Question]Phill had some friends over for pizza. He opens the pizza box and discovers it hasn't been sliced. Phill cuts the pizza in half, and then cuts both halves in half, and then cuts each slice in half again. Phill then passes out 1 slice to 3 of his friends and 2 slices to 2 of his friends. How many slices of pizza are left for Phill?
[Answer]Phill starts with 1 pizza, cutting it in half. This means he now has 1 * 2 = 2 slices of pizza. He cuts each of these 2 slices in half, meaning he now has 2 * 2 = 4 slices of pizza. He then cuts these in half again, meaning he now has 4 * 2 = 8 slices of pizza. Phill hands out 2 slices to 2 of his friends, meaning he gave out 2 * 2 = 4 slices. He hands out 1 slice to 3 others, so the total amount of slices handed out are 3 + 4 = 7 slices. Since Phill started with 8 slices, this means he has 8 - 7 = 1 slice remaining. The answer is 1.

[Question]A blacksmith has 400kg of iron to make horseshoes for neighbouring farms and stables. There are 2 farms nearby, each of which has 2 horses. There are 2 stables nearby which all have 5 horses each. While the blacksmith is crafting, a riding school reaches out and asks for as many horseshoes as possible for their own horses. The blacksmith promises to give them however many horseshoes he has left when he has finished his orders for the farms and stables. If each horseshoe needs 2kg of iron, how many horses will get new horseshoes at the riding school?
[Answer]
The blacksmith can create a total of 400kg iron / 2kg iron per horseshoe = 200 horseshoes. The farms need enough horseshoes for 2 farms * 2 horses each = 4 horses. The stables need enough horseshoes for 5 stables * 2 horses each = 10 horses. So in total, the farms and stables have 4 + 10 = 14 horses that need horseshoes. This is a total of 14 horses * 4 horseshoes per horse = 56 horseshoes. This means the blacksmith has 200 total horseshoes – 56 horseshoes for the stables and farms = 144 horseshoes left for the riding school. The riding school therefore will have enough horseshoes for 144 horseshoes / 4 horseshoes per horse = 36 horses. The answer is 36.
