Question

A young wizard got 16 baby dragons for her birthday. Then more than half of the baby dragons

flew away. What is the greatest number of baby dragons the young wizard could have now?

Answer 1

x < 8

Explanation:

Answer 2

the greatest amount of baby dragons the wizard could have is 7.

half of 16 is 8 (16/2=8)
so if at least more than half of the dragons flew away then that would mean at least 9 of them flew away
16-9=7 to find the amount of dragons left
