Two candy stores are offering free same-sized candy bars to groups of friends. A group of six friends went to Sweet Dreams and r
eceived four candy bars to share. A group of seven friends went to Sugar Shack and received five candy bars to share. Both groups shared the candy bars equally among their members. Each member in the group that went to the candy store named
received a larger portion of a candy bar because each member in the group got
of a candy bar.
Answer: here are 90 candy bars for a group to share. Each person in the group received 2/3 of a candy bar. How many people are in the group? The answer ... multiply both side with 3. x * 2 =270
Each member in the group that went to the candy store named Sugar Shack
received a larger portion of a candy bar because each member in the group got 5/7 of a candy bar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so first I am a visual learner so I drew a picture! I started with Sweet Dreams. I drew 4 candy bars and split each candy bar in 6 pieces. Each friend got 1/6 of each candy bar. This means if someone went to Sweet Dreams they got a total of 4/6 of a candy bar. Which is equivalent to 2/3. I then converted that into a decimal which is about .66 and then I went on to Sugar Shack. I then drew 5 candy bars split in 7ths. Each person got a seventh out of each candy bar. This means they got a total of 5/7. I then converted that into a decimal which is about .714. Since .71 is greater than .66 that means people at Sugar Shack got a larger portion. Hope this helps!!! Good luck on the assignment!
