Question

If Nexus shares 10 candies equally with himself and Laika, the number of candies each of them have is .

• A. 10
• B. 5
• C. 20

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

5

Number of candies = 10
Number of shares (Nexus and Laika) = 2
10 candies are shared between Nexus and Laika, so each one would have (10 $÷$ 2) candies

10 $÷$ 2 = ?
2 $\times$ ? = 10 (Which number should be multiplied by 2 to get a number 10)

2 $\times$ 5 = 10 (5 is the number that should be multiplied by 2 to get a number 10)
$\therefore 10÷$ 2 = 5
Thus, each of them have 5 candies.
