Question

show two ways that four people can share a 6 segment chewy fruit worm in each case how many segments does each person gets

Answer 1

You can share a 6 segment chewy fruit worm by giving the four people 1 ¼ segments. Also, there are a lot ways on how to divide it equally, but in this case, I’ll show two. Here are the two ways on how to share it:

1. You can divide the worm by giving one segment for each and then divide the remaining two segments in halves, thus resulting to having 1 ¼ shares.
2. Cut the worm in a horizontal manner. In this way, you'll have 12 segments now. You can then proceed by distributing the share by 3s, which is still equivalent to 1 ¼.
