#5# sweets per person

Explanation:

When given a question like this, assuming you mean all 6 people get the same amount of sweets, we need to find a number of sweets that each person has, and they all need to add up to 30...

We often solve this by division:

Amount of sweets per person=amount of sweets/ amount of people

#->30/6=5# sweets

We can check this by multiplying the number of sweets per person, by how many people there are:

#6xx5=30#, therefore, it is correct...
