Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.
Claude 3 Sonnet: To solve this problem, we need to find the number of sisters Sally has based on the given information. Given information: Sally has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. Step 1: Find the total number of sisters the brothers have.
