In my opinion, this question can not be answered unless you know how many pinecones at least one girl has. Both girls could have any number of pinecones that both, together in total, amount to 31. See what I'm saying?

Solve Step by Step:

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.
