Even if they are all boys, still that riddle seems a lil off, cause there is no half in 7.
The way it is asking .. is for you too divide 7 in half.. and it is not possible. The question is not worded right to me.
maybe I am thinking to deep. lol

LOL YES! You are!
You certainly can half '7'. But in the case of people, we generally dont like to cut someone in half. But the point behind this riddle is, that you don't have to. Because it is a true and correct statement to say that half of her kids are boys (because they are) so are three-fourths and one-third.....it matters not that it has to be a whole number. The statement of 'one-half' is correct.

aww, that works, also the answer in my mind would have been more like " There is no half, cause there all boys" ........ but that is just me for you.
I see where your coming from now though. very tricky for a simple mind ya know!
lmao
