Answer 1

There were 20 candies in each group.

Explanation:

The first step to solve this question is finding the total number of candies.

In one jar there are 56 candies, while in the other there are 24. So in total, we have 56 + 24 = 80 candies.

Christian emptied both bags and put the candies into 4 equal groups. How many candies were in each group?

80 candies into 4 equal groups.

80/4 = 20

There were 20 candies in each group.
