Mandy researched 42 med schools. She applied to 1/3 of the schools she researched and got into half of the schools where she applied. How many schools was Mandy accepted to? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
First find the number of schools Mandy applied to: 42 med schools / 3 = 14 med schools. Then divide that number by 2 to find the number of schools where she was accepted: 14 med schools / 2 = 7 med schools. So, the answer is 7.
