Question

Hanna has 16 pencils. She gets 3 new

pencils from Mrs. Lewis. She divides
the pencils equally between her 2
sisters. How many pencils does each
sister get?

Answer 1

9.5

Explanation:

If Hanna starts off with 16, and Mrs. Lewis GIVES(add) her 3 more, then she has 19 because 16+3=19. Then we divide by 2 because there are 2 sisters. so 19/2 = 9.5
