Answer:

515151 melons were picked in June and July combined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Converted to an equation:

let p = melons picked in June and July combined

[tex]p = 141414 + \frac{(888888 - 141414)}{2}[/tex]

The first part [tex]+ 141414[/tex] represents the melons that were picked in June.

The second part [tex]\frac{(888888 - 141414)}{2}[/tex] represents the melons picked in July, which is the original amount of melons, mines those picked in June, halved.

Now we can solve the equation.

[tex]p = 141414 + \frac{747474}{2}[/tex]

[tex]p = 141414 + 373737[/tex]

[tex]p = 515151[/tex]

∴ There were 515151 melons picked in June and July combined.
