Answer 1

This is a stupid question.  Its no wonder so many kids don't like math!  Poorly written.  Can Serena divide the granola bars?  Can Serena divide the dried fruit?  In my opinion the answer is 6.  The granola bars are the limiting factor.  But to have nothing left over you would have to divide the dried fruit.  Bad question.  Confusing for the student.
