Apples and Oranges

Answer this in ten seconds.
Mary and billy went to the store.
Mary bought three apples
and Billy bought five oranges.
Then Mary cut
each of three apples in half,
and Billy
cut each of his five oranges in half.
Then Mary gave Billy
half of her apple halves
and Billy gave Mary half of his orange halves.
How many apple halves and orange halves.
How many apple halves
and orange halves do Mary and Billy have?
Congratulations, trooper!
You're in the army now.
