Angela wants to check her math homework answers with her friends, but some of them aren't done yet. Out of 20 problems, Martha has finished 2, Jenna has finished four times the number Martha did minus 2, and Mark has finished half the number Jenna did. If none of the friends worked on any of the same problems, how many problems have no one but Angela finished?
How many problems did Martha answer? ** Four times the number of problems Martha answered is 4 x 2 = <<4*2=8>>8.
How many problems did Jenna answer? ** So, Jenna answered 8 - 2 = <<8-2=6>>6 problems.
How many problems did Mark answer? ** The number of problems Mark answered is 6 / 2 = <<6/2=3>>3.
How many problems did Martha, Jenna, and Mark answer? ** The total number of problems Martha, Jenna, and Mark answered is 2 + 6 + 3 = <<2+6+3=11>>11.
How many problems did Angela answer? ** So, this means Angela was able to answer 20 - 11 = <<20-11=9>>9 problems.
