Question

anonymous · Answer

We have 8 pieces of strawberry candy and 7 pieces of pineapple candy. In how many ways can we distribute this candy to 4 kids?

breanna77 · Answer

...each kid gets 2 pieces of strawberry and 1 piece of pineapple

anonymous · Answer

there can be no extra candies

breanna77 · Answer

well if you only have 15 pieces of candy you cannot evenly distribute the candies to 4 kids

anonymous · Answer

you dont need to evenly distribute it. you just need to give them all out

anonymous · Answer

So one kid will be missing one then.

breanna77 · Answer

Then 1 kid is going to get less than the others

anonymous · Answer

It wouldn't make much sense if you didn't have to distribute them.

anonymous · Answer

yes

distribute them "equally".

Let me look-up things...one second ;)

anonymous · Answer

Pull out a calculator while I'm away ;)

anonymous · Answer

I didnt say equally. I just said all the candies must be distributed out to all the children.

anonymous · Answer

Alright....I think I get it.

1. Add 7+8
2. Divide them among the kids
