Tom has 7 sandwiches, Jan has 5, Simon has none. They share them out equally. Simon leaves, paying for his sandwiches by leaving 12 biscuits. What's the fairest way for Tom and Jan to share out the biscuits?

• sandwiches tom jan simaon
  
  7 5 0
  
  for making equal each should have 4
  so tom gives 3 and jan gives 1.
  so biscuit should be divided into 3:1.
  dats tom get=(3/4) of 12
  =9
  
  and jan get= 3 biscuit

• TOTAL SANDWICHES=12
  EVERY ONE SHOULD GET 4.......MEANS JAN GAVE 1 AND TOM 3 SANDWICH
  OUT OF 12,TOM=3/4*12=9
  JAN=12-9=3
