Answer
Awesome virtually had it.
There were 7 to start with. The first customer bought 4 (3 1/2 + 1/2) This left 3
The second customer bought 2 (1 1/2 + 1/2) This left 1
The last customer bought 1 (1/2 + 1/2) And they were all gone. No knife necessary

Answer2
The answer is an odd because divded in half and add (.5) then it would make a whole number considering he did not have a knife.
Then You get an odd number and divide that number and add (.5) and you get a whole number. But I keep getting an even number :/ so Idk. But I know the original number is an odd number.
Ex:
11/2 = 5.5 + (.5) = 6
leftover: 5
5/2 = 2.5 + (.5) = 3
2/2= 1 + (.5) = 1.5 (incorrect)
At first I thought it was right, but I just can't figure it out.

Answer3
You don't need a knife to rip a jack fruit in half, first of all. Secondly, there are a number of possible answers but here is one:
Shop keeper started with 23 Jack Fruit. First customer bought 11.5 fruits.
With 11.5 left, the next customer bought 6.25 fruit, leaving 5.25 jack fruit.
The third customer then takes his share and the last 1/8 is eaten by the shop keep.
Good luck!... ☺

Answer4
so i wont be able to write the answer because ihave a question
if the third person is only buying half of what there is
then there has to be something left no?
think about it.
if there was 8 total. first would by 4 and then theres 4 left
second would by 2 and theres 2 left
third would by 1 and 1 is left
its always going to end up like that :S

Answer5
If the second customer took the remaining half of the jack-fruits then the third should be getting none of the jack fruits. A half means divided into two.
