Garrett and Crystal want to split a bag of candy, and decide to use the divider-chooser method. The bag contains 100 Snickers, 100 Milky Ways, and 100 Reese's, which Garrett values at $1, $4, and $2 respectively.
If Garrett is the divider, find a possible division that is consistent with his value system.
In this division, one half contains:
Snickers?
Milky Ways?
Reese's?
Total value $7 any combo that totals 3.50 is a 'fair' 1/2
50 Snickers = .50
50 MW =2.0
50 R = 1.0 Total = 3.50
There are a 'buh-jillion' ways to split this to obtain 3.50 value....this is just ONE!
Another example:
100 S = 1.0
50 MW = 2.0
25 R = .50 Total 3.50
