someone please answer my question pleaseeeee

Answer 1

Answer: 14.7 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Henry has two pixie sticks full of delicious sugar.

Each pixie stick has 22 grams of sugary goodness.

Then, Total sugary goodness in 2 pixie sticks= $2\times22=44\text{ grams}$

Total persons = 3   [Including himself]

If he divides 2 sticks evenly among 3 persons , then the amount of sugary goodness each persons will receive

= Total sugary goodness in 2 pixie sticks divided by 3

$=44\div3=14.6666666667\approx14.7$ grams

Hence, He will share 14.7 grams of sugary goodness with each of his friends.
