Answer:
Mr. Lee takes home 9 kg of chocolate.
Mrs. Scarlet takes home 6kg of chocolate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Lee has a family of 6 people, and Mrs. Scarlett has a family of 4 people.
Together, the total number of people is 6 + 4 = 10
If we divide evenly the chocolate between all 10, then each one gets the same amount.
Then we need to do the quotient:
15kg/10 = 1.5kg
This means that each person gets 1.5kg of chocolate.
And Mr. Lee has 6 on his family, then the amount of chocolate that Mr. Lee takes home is 6 times 1.5 kg
6*1.5kg = 9kg
Mr. Lee takes home 9 kg of chocolate.
Mrs. Scarlett has a family of 4 people, then she takes home 4 times 1.5kg of chocolate, this is:
4*1.5kg = 6kg
Mrs. Scarlet takes home 6kg of chocolate.
