Question

in the households of the early settlers, porridge was a common meal. will and emma were making porridge for breakfast one morning. will contributed 200 grams of cereal toward the porridge and emma contributed 300 grams. their friend, logan joined them but he did not have any food to contribute so he gave them 50 cents for his share of food. when will and emma tried to split the 50 cents from logan they could not decide what would be fair. how do you thin they should divide the 50 cents? a fair answer is not 20 and 30 cents

Answer 1

You need to think about how much porridge everyone will eat and how much they contributed.

Answer 2

There is a total of 500g of porridge, divide it by 3.

Answer 3

In the end, Emma contributed to Logan with 90% the share he ate. She deserves 45 cents.
