Problem for January 5

Welcome back from Winter Break! I hope we had fun relaxing and playing in the snow. Here is our problem for today.

Jason and Jeremy were eating candy bars. Jason cut his snickers bar into 6 pieces and gave 2 to Jeremy. Jeremy cut his Kit Kat into 9 pieces. How many pieces would Jeremy have to give to Jason in order to be sharing the same amount? What fraction of each candy bar did each boy eat?

Remember to post your answer to the first question as the title to the problem. Once you have finished posting your answer, include a problem similar to the one above for another group to solve when they comment on your posting.
