Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If you have 10 candies and you share them equally with 2 friends, how many does each person get?
  • Step 1: Start with the total number of candies, which is 10.
  • Step 2: You have 2 friends, so you need to include yourself in the sharing. This makes a total of 3 people (you + 2 friends).
  • Step 3: To find out how many candies each person gets, divide the total number of candies (10) by the total number of people (3).
  • Step 4: Perform the division: 10 ÷ 3 = 3.33. Since you can't have a fraction of a candy, each person gets 3 candies.
  • Step 5: After giving out 3 candies to each of the 3 people, you have given away 9 candies (3 candies x 3 people = 9 candies).
  • Step 6: Subtract the 9 candies given away from the original 10 candies. 10 - 9 = 1 candy left over.
