Juan had 4 candy bars for his 3 friends to share after lunch. But then, three other friends joined them. If Juan wants each friend to get the same amount, what part of a candy bar will each friend get?

Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that the fraction of each candy bar that each friend will get is:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Considering the three friends that were there initially and the three that arrived later, 4 candy bars will be split between 6 friends, hence the fraction that each will get is:

[tex]\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
