Answer:

First backpacker should receive $4 and the second one $2

Step-by-step explanation:

notice that the total amount of rice for the three is 600 g.

Then, the first one that gave 400 g contributed 400 out of 600, that is 400/600 = 2/3

The second one contributed 200 out of 600, that is 200/600 = 1/3

then the first one should receive 2/3 of the $6 = (2/3) x 6 = $4

and the second one should receive 1/3 of the %6 = (1/3) x 6 = $2
