Question

Hillary is sharing a box of candy with her friends. If there are b pieces of candy in the box being split between 3 people, which expression shows how many pieces of candy each person should get?

Answer 1

`c \: = (b)/(3)`

Explanation:

Where c is the number of candy given to each friend and b is the unknown number of candies in a box.

Answer 2

`Candies=(b)/(3)`

Explanation:

If there are 3 friends and they all want to share a certain amount of candies where each gets the same amount of candies as the others, you just have to divide the total amount of candies between 3 which is the number of poeple that there are, then each gets a third of the total candies. So the expression will be b/3.
