Question

Ollivander's Stuffed Bear Shop has 456 bears in stock. Exactly half of them are made from wool. How many wool bears does Mr. Ollivander have in stock?

Answer 1

228

Explanation:

Exactly half (1/2) of 456. so we can do 456x(1/2), 456/2, or 456x0.5. All of these will give the same answer of 228.

Answer 2

456/2=228 (228 bears made out of wool)
