Answer the following question.
Two days ago, the temperature in the morning went up 1.5 degrees every 2 hours. If the temperature was 50 degrees at 3 A.M., what was the temperature at 11 A.M.?
Step-by-step reasoning process: At 5 A.M., the temperature was 50 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 51.5 degrees. At 7 A.M., the temperature was 51.5 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 53 degrees. At 9 A.M., the temperature was 53 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 54.5 degrees. At 11 A.M., the temperature was 54.5 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 56 degrees.
The answer is 56.

Answer the following question.
On Black Friday a popular electronics store sells 327 televisions. This is 50 more than they sold last Black Friday. If this sales trend continues and they sell 50 more televisions each year for three years, how many televisions will they sell on Black Friday three years from now?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The electronics store sold 327 televisions this Black Friday and might sell 50 more televisions the next year, for a total of 327 + 50 = 377 televisions. The second year they might sell 377 + 50 = 427 televisions. The third year, if they continue to sell 50 more televisions than they did the previous year, they will sell 427 + 50 televisions = 477 televisions on the Black Friday three years from now.
The answer is 477.

Answer the following question.
Leah bought 3 boxes of birdseed. When she went to put them away, she discovered that she already had 5 boxes in the pantry. Her parrot eats 100 grams of seeds each week and her cockatiel eats 50 grams of seeds in a week. If each box of birdseed contains 225 grams, for how many weeks can she feed her birds without going back to the store?
Step-by-step reasoning process: In a week, her birds eat a total of 100 grams + 50 grams = 150 grams of seed each week. Leah has a total of 3 + 5 = 8 boxes of birdseed. The boxes of birdseed contain a total of 8 * 225 grams = 1800 grams. This is enough birdseed to feed her pets for 1800 / 150 = 12 weeks.
The answer is 12.

Answer the following question.
The cost of transporting 80 bags of cement, each weighing 50 kgs, is $6000. What's the cost of transporting three times as many cement bags, each weighing 3/5 times as many kgs?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Three times as many cement bags is 3 * 80 = 240 cement bags. If a bag of cement weighs 50 kg, 3 / 5 times as much weight is 3 / 5 * 50 = 30 kgs. If the cost of transporting 80 bags of cement, each weighing 50 kgs, is $6000, the cost of transporting one bag of cement weighing 50 kg is $6000 / 80 = $75. Since a bag weighing 50 kgs costs $75 to transport, a bag weighing 30 kgs will cost 30 * $75 / 50 = $45 to transport. The cost of transporting 240 cement bags each weighing 30 kgs is $45 * 240 = $10800.
The answer is 10800.
