Each girl received \(1\frac{1}{2}\) candy bars.
Solución
1. Initially, Mai had \(5\) candy bars.
2. She ate half of one candy bar, which is \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a candy bar. Therefore, the number of candy bars remaining is:
\[
5 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{10}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}
\]
3. Mai decided to distribute the remaining \(\frac{9}{2}\) candy bars equally among herself and her two sisters (a total of \(3\) people). To find out how many candy bars each person received, divide the total by \(3\):
\[
\frac{9}{2} \div 3 = \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{2}
\]
4. Therefore, each girl received \(\frac{3}{2}\) candy bars.

Mai started with 5 candy bars and ate half of one, leaving her with 4.5 candy bars. She then decided to share these 4.5 bars evenly between herself and her two sisters, making a total of three. When you divide 4.5 by 3, each girl receives 1.5 candy bars. So, Mai and her sisters each get 1 full candy bar along with one half of a candy bar to keep the sharing sweet and fair! It's always fun to see someone calculating candy distributions! This scenario showcases not just maths, but also the joy of sharing treats. Next time you have a stash of goodies, try dividing them among friends and see what fun combinations you can come up with, ensuring everyone feels included!
