Question

Some critters got into the oatmeal. They ate 3 packages of Mike's, 2 of Chads, and 6 of Matt's. Toni lost half as much as the others combined. How much of Toni's oatmeal did the critters eat?

Answer 1

You add 3+2+6=11 then you divide 11 by 2 and you get 5 1/2

Answer 2

I think the critters ate 5 1/2 packages of Toni’s oatmeal.

If he ate half as much as the others you should total up the others and divide it by 2.

3 + 2 + 6 = 11 11 divided by 2 = 5 1/2

I hope you find this helpful.
