Keenan gives Tisha half of his strawberries. Tisha keeps 4 of the strawberries she got from Keenan and gives the rest to Suvi.

Write an expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi. Use k for the number of strawberries Keenan had when she started.
Could Keenan have started with 6 strawberries? Use your expression to explain why or why not.

1. K=4*2 2. No

Explanation:

This is because to get our answer, we must do 4 times 2 to get our orginal answer. If Tisha got half of the strawberries and half is four, then it is impossible to start off with 6 because Keenan must of started wiht 8 strawberries. This math should be very simple
