Question

There are 18 muffins on a plate. If they are split equally among 9 people, how many muffins will each person get?

Answer 1

The answer would be 2

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

18 muffins, 9 people

Let's try making this simpler, and see how much one person would get

18 muffins / 9 people =

2 muffin / 1 person

This means one person would get 2 muffins, or a 2:1 ratio

18:9 = 2:1
