Question

Six truffles with different fillings (filled bonbons) will be distributed between two girls. Assuming that each receives at least one truffle, how many different ways can this distribution be made?

Answer 1

Hello!

A basic way to find the answer is just to come up with as many addition expressions as possible that equal six (without zero).

1+5
5+1
2+4
4+2
3+3

This means that there are five total ways the distribution can be made.

I hope this helps!
