Answer:
a) 3.5 ≈ 3
b) Hendrick and Baxter
c) 4.25 ≈ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) To find the amount each person gets after splitting it equally is the same as finding the average:
[tex]\frac{3+2+4+5}{4} =3.5[/tex]
Each person can get 3 whole fruits, and then there are two left which they can split so each person gets another half.
b)Hendrick and Baxter brought 2 and 3 fruits respectively, so they will be receiving more than what they came with.
c) Similar to a), the average of the water bottles should be calculated:
[tex]\frac{5+2+3+7}{4} =4.25[/tex]
Since water bottles cant physically be split, it is more likely that each person will get 4 bottles and that there will be one spare bottle
