Lower Elementary:
Question: Chloe had an excellent fishing day. She caught 6 snappers, 4 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 fish
Solution: Chloe caught 6+4+1 = 11 fish in total. She threw 3 snappers back because half of 6 is 3, and she also threw 2 mackerels back because half of 4 is 2. That means she went home with 11-3-2=6 fish.
