Question

Isabelle, Joel, and Bryan sat on their grandmother's porch shelling peas for dinner. There were 2 big bowls of peas, and each person shelled an equal amount. How many bowls of peas did each person shell?

Answer 1

2/3 bowls of peas

Explanation:

Given that there were 2 big bowls of peas, and each person shelled an equal amount. Since there are three persons, the ratio of the number of bowls of peas available to the number of persons will give the number of bowls of peas did each person shell.

Hence each person must have shell

= 2/3 bowls of peas
