Question

four people each bougth 2 bottles of vermont maple syrup. each person plans to share their bottles with 3 friends. how much does each person get?

Answer 1

2/4 = 1/2 bottle each

Answer 2

If four people will share 2 bottles, each with 3 friends, this means that 16 people (4 original plus 3 more for each of the 4 [3 * 4]) are sharing the two bottles.
In that case, each person gets 1/8 of a bottle.

2/16 = 1/8

Ms. Sue's answer would be correct, if the 4 people did not each share with 3 friends.

I hope this helps a little more.

Answer 3

1/2
