Question

There were 234 roses growing in the back garden. If 50% of the roses were red. How many were not red?

Answer 1

C)117

Explanation:

50%=1/2

If you want to figure out how much is left of a half all you do is have to divide the total number of whatever it is, in this case, its roses, by 2.

So now that we know that, let's get started.

234/2=117

Which we know is correct because it's one of your answer choices.

So 117 roses are not red. The other half was.

I hope this helps!!!
