To find out how many seashells each of the three people will get, you need to first add together all the seashells that Carrie and her brother found and then divide that number by 3.
Carrie found 7 seashells. Her brother found 8 seashells. Together they found a total of 7 + 8 = 15 seashells.
When you divide these 15 seashells among 3 people, each person would get:
15 seashells ÷ 3 people = 5 seashells per person.
