Question

There are 117 staff members in your school. 1/2 of them are going away for the Thanksgiving holiday. How many staff members are not traveling?

Answer 1

Hi! So for this word problem, you would just decide 117 devided by 2. You would get 58.5. After that, you will have to round. If it is 5 or higher, you round up. So the FINAL answer would be 59. Hope this helped!
