Problema Solution
children shared sweets from a packet equally and each got 8 sweets. if the same sweets were shared among six children. how many would each get?
Answer provided by our tutors
the problem statement is probably incomplete because the number of children who shared equally and received 8 sweets is not given...
we will, however, assume that 'x' represents the number of children who each got 8 sweets when the packet was shared equally, therefore the packet contained '8x' total sweets
if only 6 children were sharing the same sweets, then each child would receive:
(8x)/6 = (4/3)x
