Nearly as tasty as chocolate covered potato chips from PEI, "Chocolate Sweeties" are also sold by the Anne of Green Gables Chocolate Shop.
These little cubes of brown sugar fudge are covered in a delicious, creamy milk chocolate, and come in packages of 6.
We opened one such package in the kitchen after dinner the other night, and I immediately smelled a math problem!
How many chocolate sweeties does each person get, if we want to divide the package equally amongst myself, the boys and Ms. K?
"They're sooooo good!" proclaim Alex and Simon, and Ms. K decides to generously give a third of her portion to the boys to share. How much of the package did the boys end up with each?
If everyone kept their fair share, how many packages would we need to open so that each person gets a whole number of chocolate sweeties?
Can you think of any other math problems the chocolate sweeties cause? If so, please comment below!
