Joan and jack bought a total of x art kits from a craft store. each kit contained y beads. joan and jack divided the beads equally between them. what expression can be used to determine the number of beads joan received?

Joan received 1/2 of the beads, or y. that means one of the values is 1/2y.x is the number of kits, and y is determined by x.j = x(1/2y)(assume j equals the number of beads joan gets, you can assign whatever letters you'd like to that value)

Hey userthe answer  to this is going to be  j = x(1/2y)

The answer would be 151,085. easy. good luck
