Question

There are 117 staff members in your school. 1/2 of them are going away for the Thanksgiving holiday. How many staff members are not traveling?

Answer 1

58.5

Explanation:

This is an odd question, because you cannot have half a person, but this is the answer any way.

This is a one step simple division problem, all you have to do is divide 117 by 2, and the final result, which is 58.5 is your answer.

Happy Holidays!

Answer 2

Hi! So for this word problem, you would just decide 117 devided by 2. You would get 58.5. After that, you will have to round. If it is 5 or higher, you round up. So the FINAL answer would be 59. Hope this helped!
