42 raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries were picked in total. If half of all the berries had been raspberries, and a third of the berries were blackberries, how many of them were blueberries? Let's be accurate as possible.
42 / 2 = 21 raspberries had been picked. 42 / 3 = 14 blackberries had been picked. 21 + 14 = 35 raspberries and blackberries had been picked. 42 - 35 = 7 blueberries had been picked.
The answer: 7.
