Final answer:

Liam and Darrel have a total of 24 grapes when combined. Sharing them equally between the two means each friend will get 12 grapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Liam has 18 green grapes to share, and his friend Darrel brought 6 purple grapes to share. Together, that gives them a total of 24 grapes (18 green + 6 purple). To find out how many grapes each friend will get if they share all the grapes equally, we need to divide the total number of grapes by the number of friends.

There are 2 friends (Liam and Darrel), so we need to divide 24 grapes by 2:

  • 24 grapes ÷ 2 friends = 12 grapes per friend.

Therefore, Liam and Darrel will each get 12 grapes if they share all the grapes equally.
