Complete question :

Grandma gave 13 pieces of jewelry and grandma fien gave y pieces to the sister to divide evenly among them selves.There are 5 sister. How many pieces of jewelry does each sister get

Answer:

(13 + y) / 5

Explanation:

Given that :

Number of jewelries Given by grandma = 13

Number of jewelries Given by grandma fien = y

Total number of jeweleries Given = (13 + y)

Number of people among which the jeweleries is to be divided = 5

Hence, since the distribution is to be even, then, each sister gets :

Total jeweleries / number of sisters

(13 + y) / 5
