There are 48 crayons in the box. Kiley takes 1/4 of them away. Joe takes away half of the remaining crayons, how many crayons are left? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
User
Kiley takes 48 / 4 = 12 crayons. 48 - 12 = 36 crayons remain. Joe takes 36 / 2 = 18 crayons. 36 - 18 = 18 crayons left.
Therefore, the answer is 18.
