Lance Bird · Answer 1

Let's see, If Bejamin found 31 and Jenna and Ellan found 31 together we have to divide 31 in half

To do this we must first divide 30 30 / 2 is 15

Now we must divide 1 in half 1 / 2 is half of 1 which is. 5

Then we must add 30 +.5 = 30.5

One girl found 16 the other found 15

=31 which is equal to how many Ben found
