Hmm they're both even numbers so maybe we can start by cutting each number in half.

18 and 48 had 2 as a common factor.
So factoring a 2 out of each number was the same as cutting each number in half. Try to do something similar with the 9 and 24. They each have something in common.
1/2 + 1/2 =1 cup + 1/2 + 1/2= 2 cups + 1/2= 2 1/2
How many 1/2 you see? 5!!

now, we can solve for x

each friend receives is 9 apples.........Answer
