Question

there are 538 jelly beans in a bowl hector and Michael decided to share the jelly beans how many jelly beans do Michael and hector get? Their mom tells them they can not eat all the jelly beans at once. They can each eat an equal amount of jelly beans for four days. How many jelly beans do hector and Michael eat each day for four days​

Answer 1

67.25

Explanation:

Since they can each get 1/2 the jelly beans but need to eat it over 4 days they will be eating 1/2*1/4 jelly beans per day. This is equal to 1/8x where x is the total jelly beans. We know the total so we can plug 538 in for x and divide 538 by 8 to get 67.25
