"Ned No-Idea" was what everyone called him. His real name was Ned Franklin, but everywhere he went he was called "Ned No-Idea." Every time someone asked him a question, he said "I have no idea!” He didn’t even try to think; he just said, "I have no idea." One day Ned's mother had an idea. She called of Ned's relatives and asked each one to send Ned ten ideas about how to have an idea. The thirteen relatives each sent eleven ideas. One-fourth of the ideas were about school half of the ideas were about learning and the rest of ideas were about thinking. How many ideas were about thinking?

13 * 11 = 143 ideas were sent in
Since 143 is not divisible by 4, I guess we have to count his mom's idea as well, making 144 ideas in all.

Now you should be able to work with the fractions involved.
