?Prompt
Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have?
Response
Let me help solve this word problem step by step.
Let's break it down:
- Sally is a girl
- Sally has 3 brothers
- Each brother has 2 sisters
The key insight here is that if each brother has 2 sisters, and we know Sally is one of those sisters, then all brothers must share the same sisters.
Since each brother has 2 sisters total, and we know Sally is one of them, there must be one other sister.
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
To verify:
- Sally + her 1 sister = 2 sisters total
- This matches the fact that each of the 3 brothers has 2 sisters
The answer is 1 sister.
