If there are six apples, and two people to split the apples evenly across so both get an equal amount of apples, then:
\(n=\frac{a}{p}\)
Where n is the number of apples each person gets, a is the total amount of apples, and p is the total amount of people.
Substituting the numbers in gives:
\(n=\frac{6}{2} = 3\)
n is equal to three, so each person should receive three apples each.
