Question

Four friends fished for crabs. They caught 5, 9, 8, and 6 crabs. The friends agreed to divide the crabs evenly.



How many crabs should each person get?

Answer 1

Total Crabs caught- 5+8+9+6 =28
Number of friends- 4
Crabs each person should get- 24/4 =7
Each person should get 7 crabs

Answer 2

Answer:

7 crabs

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we add the total number of crabs:

Therefore, total number of crabs: 5 + 9 + 8 + 6 = 28

Now, we check for the number of friends in the group:

There are four friends.

Therefore, for each friend to get the same number of crabs, they must all get (total number of crabs)/(total number of people in friend group)

=> 28/4 = 7
