(a+b+c)/2 is the answer

Explanation:

i tried to write the explanation but it kept saying that i wrote something not good and said error

but to shortly phrase it, take all the children on the bus and then put it divided by 2 because you take half. you group a,b, and c into parantheses because otherwise it wouldn't register as a group

(a+b+c)/2 were on each bus
