There are 75 peaches and a group of people need to split the peaches between 15 friends for 5 different pies. How much will each friend have in the pies?

[Please just explain how to get the answer, I'm not looking for a direct answer. (or a blank formula is fine]

75 peaches

15 friends

5 different pies

so it would be 3 friends per pie because 3*5= 15

75/5 = 15peaches per pie

so 3 friends=1 pie=15 peaches in that pie

Does that make sense?
