say she put 2 apples in her pocket and kept 1 apple in her hand. then she gives away half of the apple in her hand. She will have half of an apple left in her hand, and 2 more apples still in her pocket.

how many apples is that ?

yes 2 and 1/2 apples

Answer 9

now learn how to do it using fractions:

\[ 3 - \frac{1}{2} \]
change 3 to 6/2
\[ \frac{6}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \]
subtract the tops to get
\[ \frac{5}{2} \]
make into a mixed number by dividing 2 into 5 to get 2 remainder 1
write that as
\[ 2 \frac{1}{2} \]
