a family of 4,6,and 8 people share 360 candies, how many candies the bigger family will get?

Question

arithmetic reasoning

Answer 1

First we need to determine how many people there are:

4 + 6 + 8 = 18

 

Next we need to determine how many candies each person receives:

360 / 18 = 20

 

So every person gets 20 candies. Now from here, how many people are in the bigger family? Use that information with the number of candies each person gets to solve and deduce the total number of candies the family will receive.
