Question

Punita is planting her garden. She plants 88 seeds in total. Half of them are carrots and half of them are radishes. How many radishes did Punita plant?​

Answer 1

44 radish seeds

Explanation:

Punita planted 88 seeds in total and half of them are radish seeds.

Multiply 88 by 1/2 or divide 88 by 2 to find what half of 88 is.

88 x 1/2 = 44

88/2 = 44

You may show your work either way.

To check your work:

44 radishes + 44 carrots = 88 seeds in total

or

44 times 2 = 88

Answer 2

Answer: 44

88 is the total, 88 divided by 2 is 44 and half the seeds are radishes
