During an amorous struggle, the lady's pearls broke. Half of the pearls fell onto the floor, a fourth rolled under a chair, a sixth fell into her lap, and three pearls remained on the strain. How many pearls were there originally on the strand?

Is the fourth included in those that fell on the floor? Was there a fifth pearl?
If the first answer is no and the second yes, the other half of the pearls = 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 6

When it says fourth and fifth, it refers to fraction, not whole numbers. So the formula is 3+ 1/6x +1/5x + 1/2x
and the answer is 30 which is calculated by figuring the LCM
