Question

six boys shared four brownies so that each boy got the same amount. three girls also shared some brownies equally, and they each got the same amount of brownie as the boys. how many brownies did the girls share?

Answer 1

we have the following:

We can solve the problem by means of a rule of proportionality, that is, if 4 brownies were divided with 6 boys, how many brownies would be for 3 girls who received the same amount

`\begin{gathered} 6\rightarrow4 \\ 3\rightarrow x \\ x=(3\cdot4)/(6)=(12)/(6)=2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, in total are 2 brownies
