Division

Equal Shares


Hugo, Aisha, and Louis have 6 apples. They want to share them equally. How can they do it so that it's fair?

We can give one apple to each friend until all the apples are gone. Each friend gets \(\textcolor{colorprop}{2}\) apples. This process of fair sharing is what we call division.


Definition Sharing Equally

When 6 apples are shared equally among 3 friends, each friend gets 2.
