To add it equally into two parts? You add 122+165=287 287รท2 = 143.5 So 143.5 + 143.5 or 143ร—2=287 even 143.5 is your answer

To divide 122 jellybeans (Sarah) and 165 jellybeans (Jonah) equally, first add the total (287) and then divide by 2, resulting in 143.5 each. Since jellybeans can't be divided in half, they could each take 143 and set aside the extra jellybean. This approach ensures both get as close to equal amounts as possible.
