Lower Elementary:
Question: Olivia had an excellent fishing day. She caught 4 snappers, 6 mackerels, 1 grouper, and 1 soggy boot. She threw half the snappers and half the mackerels back into the ocean. How many fish did she take home?
Answer: 6
Solution: Olivia caught 4 snappers + 6 mackerels + 1 grouper = 11 fish. She threw back half of 4 = 2 snappers and half of 6 = 3 mackerels, 5 fish altogether. So, Olivia took home 11-5=6 fish.
