Question

The local women's club baked 196 pies. One pie dropped onto the floor and

was thrown away. If they give equal amounts of the remaining pies to each
of two schools, how many whole pies would each school receive?
100 pies
96 pies
97 pies
98 pies

Answer 1

97

Explanation:

196 ÷ 2 = 97.5

you cannot include the .5, so each school gets 97 pies
