Half of the class consists of 28 students / 2 = 14 students. One half of the students have 14 students * 3 notebooks / student = 42 notebooks. The other half have 14 students * 5 notebooks / student = 70 notebooks. There are 42 notebooks + 70 notebooks = 112 notebooks in total in the classroom. So the final answer is 112.
