To figure that out, you'd have to know how many pieces of candy were in the bag to start with.--Sorry, don't mind me. I just realized that you have how many pieces he has left.
Why do people expect the answers to their homework on here? Pay attention in class.

My first reaction was to tell you to do your own homework and call you lazy, but then I realized the topic was homework "help". The answer "suprasteve" provided was very good. It helped you through the problem while showing you how to solve it. Rather than just giving you the answer. Good luck with the rest of the problems. ^.^

He has 2 pieces left, right?
So, 2
times 2
times 3
times 2 = 24
If you wanna check, start from 24 and divide...
Have fun!!

when he gave half to his brother he had 4
when he gave a third to his sister he had 6
when he gave half to his friend he had 12
divide the resultant amount by the fraction he shared and that should give you the previous amount
