Question

A group of friends went to the movies. They shared 2 bags of popcorn equally. If each person got 2/3 of a bag of popcorn, how many people were in the group?

Answer 1

There would have been three people in the group.

Explanation:

This is because if you add 2/3 together until you get that amount, it will add up to having three people. If this sounds confusing, here is a visual thing to help.

2/3+2/3=4/3 which can also equal 1 1/3

1 1/3 + 2/3 =2

you added 2/3 together three times to get two, so three is the answer.

Hope this helps!
