Problemsolverhw 2

Miguel has 11 goldfish and his sister Anita has 5 goldfish. Miguel thinks if he gives Anita 6 of his fish, then they will each have 11 fish. However, this is incorrect, as it would leave Miguel with 5 fish and Anita with 11 fish. The correct way for them to share so they each have the same number is for Miguel to give Anita 3 fish, leaving them each with 8 fish.
