Reasoning Four people each bought 2 bottles of Vermont maple syrup Each person plans to share their bottles with 3 friends How much does each person get?

Answer 1

4 x 2 = 8 bottles were bought. They have to be shared among 4 x 4 = 16 people.

Each person gets 8/16 = 1/2 bottle

This would be true no matter how many people buy bottles. (The number 4 cancels out)
