Question

Martin used some apples to make muffins. omar used some apples to make applesauce. omar used fewer than half as many apples as martin used

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you missed to indicate what is being asked in this problem. However, I have a hint that what is being asked is probably the number of apples that each used in their recipes. To answer, let x be the number of apples that Martin used such that Omar used y which is expressed as,
                               y < 0.5x
