Weekend word problem

Freddie had 12 lollies. He gave half to Baily and then ate half of what he had left. How many lollies did Freddie have left?

Jos planted 25 trees. A strong wind blew in and destroyed 4/5 of them. How many trees was Jos left with?

Braith cleaned 20 out of the 25 desks in the class. What fraction of the desks are still dirty?

    12 divided by 2 = 6
