How Many are Left?
Anna has 4 guns with 5 loaded clips, Bobby has 3 guns with 5.5 loaded clips, and Chuck has 2 guns with 4.25 loaded clips. During a day of target shooting on Scoutman's range, Chuck shoots 3.5 clips, Anna shoots 3.25 clips, and Bobby shoots 3.75 clips. At the end of the day, how many guns still have loaded clips?

Hint
Count the clips, not the bullets. A loaded clip has 1 or more bullets in it.Answer
Anna has 1.75 clips left, so she has 2 guns with loaded clips. Bobby also has 1.75 clips left, and thus has 2 guns with loaded clips. Chuck has 0.75 clips left, so he has 1 gun with a loaded clip. So the answer is 5 of the 9 guns still have loaded clips.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
