Equal Sharing
On her birthday, Reema wants to distribute 10 chocolates to her five friends.
She gave one chocolate to each of them. She is still left with some chocolates.
She again gave one chocolate to each of them. Now she has no chocolate left.
This means, 10 chocolates have been distributed equally among 5 friends giving
2 chocolates to each one.
