Answer 1

`x = 5\,(pints)/(person)`

Explanation:

The quantity of pints of blueberries per person is:

`x = (15\,pints)/(3\,friends)`

`x = 5\,(pints)/(person)`

Answer 2

Answer: They will have 3 3/4 each

Explanation:

Extracting key information from the question:

*** Sheldon and his 3 friends will pick 15 pints of blue berries

*** The berries will be shared evenly among Sheldon and his 3 friends.

To calculate the amount of berries that Sheldon and his friends will obtain, we add up the number of people that will share it and use the result to divide what is to be shared:

15/4

= 3.75

They will therefore get 3 3/4 each
