Given :
Susan wanted to share her 37 seashells with her two younger brothers.
To Find :
If she divided her seashells between the three of them, how many would each person get.
Solution :
Let, each person will get x seashells.
So,
[tex]x = \dfrac{\text{Total number of seashells}}{\text{Number of persons}}\\\\x = \dfrac{37}{3}\\\\x = 12.333[/tex]
But as we know seashells cannot be in decimal.
Therefore, each person will get exactly 12 shells.
