Question

Maria shares some seashells with Jeff. Maria says, “Two for you, three for me, two for you, three for me ...” Tonya watches. At the end, she says, “So Jeff got 2/3 of the shells.” Do you agree with Tonya? Give reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

nope.
2 for Jeff
3 for Maria
so, Jeff got 2/5 of the shells, not 2/3.

This illustrates the difference between probability (2/5) and odds (2:3)

Answer 2

how is it 2/5 of shells tho?

Answer 3

No, I disagree with Tonya because..
2 shells for Jeff.
3 shells for Maria.
Add 2+3 which gives 5.
So It's 2/5 not 2/3.
I'm pretty sure this is the answer. ;-;
