Answer:

Mr Lee gets 9kg

Mrs Scarlett gets 6kg

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have 15kg of chocolate and a total of 6 + 4 = 10 people.

We want to divide the 15kg of chocolate evenly between these 10 people, then we just need to do the quotient

15kg/10 = 1.5kg

This means that each person gets 1.5 kg of chocolate.

Now, Mr. Lee has a family of 6 people, and each one of these 6 people got 1.5 kg of chocolate, then the total amount of chocolate that Mr. Lee will bring home is 6 times 1.5kg:

6*1.5kg = 9kg

And Mrs Scarlett will get the remaining, that is:

15kg - 9kg = 6kg

Mrs Scarlett will get 6kg of chocolate.
