Question

Jeremy has 144 marbles. He gives half to Marsha. Then he gives half of what he has left to Sam. He shares in the same way with two more friends. Write the terms that shows the number of marbles Jeremy has.

Answer 1

Hey!

So, If you want to figure out how much marbles Marsha gets, you first divide 144 by 2. And that equals 72. So Marsha gets 72. THEN, Halve goes to Sam so Sam gets halve of 72. And halve of 72 is 36. 

SO MARSHA GETS 72 MARBLES JEREMY GETS 36 AND SAM GETS
36.

Answer 2

Yeah Marsha gets 72 marbles and Jeremy gets 36 and Sam gets 36
