Answer:
Out of the 8 dimes found Frank gives Grant 1 dime and he gives Stan 7 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters of the question are;
The number of candy bars Grant had = 3 candy bars
The number of candy bars Stan had = 5 candy bars
The candy was shared equally between them and Frank
The amount Frank found and wants to use to pay his brothers = 8 dimes
The total number of candies = 3 candy bars + 5 candy bars = 8 candy bars
The number of candy each of the three brothers received = 8/3 candies each
The amount of candy given by Grant = 3 - 8/3 = 1/3 parts of candy
The amount of candy given by Stan = 5 - 8/3 = 7/3 candy parts
Therefore, of the 8/3 part of candy Frank received, 1/3 was from Grant and 7/3 was from Stan
We have;
8/3 candy parts = 8 × 1/3 candy parts
1/3 candy part = 1 × 1/3 candy part
7/3 candy part = 7 × 1/3 candy parts
The candy Frank received can be split into 8 parts of 1/3 candy parts with 1 part from grant and 7 parts from Stan
Therefore, Frank should give 1 dime to Grant and 7 dimes to Stan for the number of candy parts received from each of the brothers
