  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Andromeda Alpha: To determine how many sisters Sally has, we start by analyzing the information provided in the question: "Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have?" Step 1: Understand the Family Composition Sally is a girl.

    GLM 5.3 Prime: Sally has 1 sister. Here's why: Sally's 3 brothers each have 2 sisters. Those 2 sisters must be Sally and one other girl (since all the brothers share the same siblings). So Sally has 3 brothers and 1 sister.
