Answer 1

6

Explanation:

per bag

9/3=3 lollipops

6/3=2 peanut butter cups

3/3=1 chocolate

then add them together to get 6

Answer 2

Answer: 6 pieces of candy

Explanation:

Assuming lollipops, peanut butter cups, and chocolate are wanted in 3 bags, we would add all the candy together.

9+6+3=18

We have a total of 18 candies. Since we have to split the candy into 3 bags, you would divide 18 by 3.

18/3=6

There will be 6 pieces of candy in each bag.
