Question

Hailey read 48 pages of a book this week. Blake read half as many as Hailey. How many pages did they read combined?

Answer 1

48+24=72
72 is the correct answer

Answer 2

So if Hailey read 48 pages and Blake read half of that, the Blake only read 24 pages. So 48+24 is going to be 72. Hope this helps.
