Question

9 candies are distributed among 3 children. Find the number of candies each child gets.

• A. 3
• B. 6
• C. 2
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3

Let's give one candy to each of the 3 children.
Number of candies left = $9-3=6$
Similarly, we distribute until there are no candies left
$6-3=3$
$3-3=0$

All the candies are distributed. Therefore, each child gets 3 candies.
