His little brother shouldn't be complaining be cause big Bro can whack him up side his head.
Or you can say that big bro weighs twice as much as little bro and thus they each got proportionately correct servings.
Turns out Big bro has an eating disorder and likes to steal food from little bro. Little bro shouldn't worry because at the rate big bro is going he will be dead next week from a diabetic coma from all the candy.
But ultimately the problem is this is your homework problem and you should figure out the answer. So put down the Snickers Bar and Xbox controller and work it out.

you started with two candy bars - you accounted for 3 half bars. Samuel got two halves and the little brother got one half. There is one half a candy bar remaining in the frig. That's why little brother feels riped off.

Their parents should've supplied them with cut-up veggies or granola bars for a snack, not candy bars. Therein lies the problem.
Good luck!

the problem is that his little brother is being an anoying little brother (just like mine) and that he should learn how to behave.
