What is 1/2 of (6 + 3 + 9 + 7) ?

Rationale

The answer is 7.

To find 1/2 of the sum of 6, 3, 9, and 7, we first add these numbers to get a total of 25. Dividing this total by 2 then gives us the result, which is 7.5.

A (14) YOUR ANSWER

The sum of 6, 3, 9, and 7 is 25, not 28. Therefore, half of this sum can't be 14. In order to get 14, the total would need to be 28.

B (12.5) CORRECT

This is the correct answer. The sum of 6, 3, 9, and 7 is 25. Half of 25 is 12.5, which rounds down to the nearest whole number, 7.

C (3.5) YOUR ANSWER

This choice would be correct if the question was asking for 1/2 of the average of 6, 3, 9, and 7. However, the question is asking for 1/2 of the sum of these numbers, which is 7.

D (11.5) YOUR ANSWER

This choice would be correct if the question was asking for the average of the numbers 6, 3, 9, and 7. However, the question is asking for 1/2 of their sum, which is 7.

Conclusion

The sum of the numbers 6, 3, 9, and 7 is 25. Half of this sum is 7. Therefore, 1/2 of the sum of these numbers is 7. All other choices represent either incorrect calculations or misinterpretations of the question.
