Help me Please!!!!….

Considering how the sandwiches were shared equally, how did Mario indend the money to be divided?

Mario had been walking all morning. It was lunch time, and he was very hungry when he came upon Deidra and David getting ready to eat their lunch. Mario asked if he gould join them. He said he had money to pay for his share. Deidra and David said they would be glad to share their lunch with him. Deidra had three sandwiches and David had five sandwiches. The sandwiches were evenly divided three ways and everyone enjoyed a fine lunch. When lunch was over, Mario gave Deidra and David $4.00 and told them to spilt the money between them. Considering how the sandwiches were shared equally, how did Mario indend the money to be divided?

The sandwiches are cut into groups of three and everyone eats 8 parts, so Diedra has 9 sandwich parts and david has 15.

Diedra eats her 8 and has one left over

david eats his 8 and has 7 left over

Diedra gets 50 cents

david gets $3.50

There are 8 sandwiches total. Divided into 3, that means 2 and 2/3 of a sandwich for everyone.

Deidra gives Mario a 1/3 of a sandwich (leaving her her 2 and 2/3), meaning for Mario to have his share, David gives him 2 and 1/3.

The ratio of 2 1/3 to 1/3 is 7 to 1, so

7x + 1x = $4.00

8x = 4.00

x = .50

Deidra gets .50 and David gets 3.50.

considering that this can be a trick question:

mario intended an equal division of money

math consideration:

mario ate 2 2/3 of the total 8 sanwiches and paid $4.00 for these

3/8 of the sandwiches are from deidra so 3/8*$4 = $1.50

5/8 from David makes 5/8*$4 = $2.50
