Question

Benjamin finds 31 pinecones. Together Jenna and Ellen find the same number as Benjamin. How many pinecones could each girl have found?

Answer 1

15.5 pine cones each

Answer 2

Explanation:

1) Write the Equation: 31/2 = how many pine cones Jenna and Ellen found.

2) Solve 31/2= 15.5

So each girl found 15 and a half pine cones. Or one girl found 15 and the other found 16. If you want to have each girl find an even amount.

Hope this helps!!
