Question: There are 26 chickens, 40 piglets, and 34 goats at Stacy’s farm. A really bad storm hits and half of all the animals get sick. How many animals in total get sick? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
26 / 2 = 13 chickens get sick. 40 / 2 = 20 piglets get sick. 34 / 2 = 17 goats get sick. In total, 13 + 20 + 17 = 50 animals get sick. So the answer is 50.
