Question

On the last period our teacher had 1/2 of an eraser left. She gave that to her two students equally. How much of the eraser did every student take home

Answer 1

The answer is 1/4 of an eraser

Answer 2

1/4 because the whole eraser would be divided into fourths and half was gone so 2/4 was left, so each student would have gotten 1/4
short answer: 1/4
