Answer:

Each person will get 9 coins and 2 coins are left over.

Step by step explanation:

It is given that Mitzi has 38 coins. She divides the coins equally among herself and her 3 brothers.

Total number of persons is 4.

She wants to divide the amount equally among herself and her 3 brothers.


(38)/(4)=(36+2)/(4)=9+(2)/(4)

When we divide 38 by 4, then the quotient is 9 and the remainder is 2.

It means each person will get 9 coins and 2 coins are left over.
