It you have 10 tootsie rolls and want to give an equal amount to each of your two children you should say: 10 divided by 2 is 5 and you should give each child 5 tootsie rolls.

dibbie anderson is a piece of wood?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

@primeralph Don't nit pick. She probably meant "has" instead of "a". Maybe English is a second language or something. Maybe it was a typo.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

@Mertsj To be honest, I didn't mean to. I was just asking. Farmers or such, sometimes give names to their tools and the likes.
