If there are 48 fish and half of them drown, how many of them are left? My teacher said that this was a hard question, so it's worth 35 points. Whoever gets the correct answer first gets the points. Thanks!

Fish live in water, so they don't drown. But if your teacher doesn't accept that answer, it would technically still be 48.

There would be 24 fish left because 48/2 = 24
