Since Dave has worked the same number of hours as Cindy, the mother decides to add 3 more pieces of candy and distribute 19 pieces. When she apportions the 19 pieces using the same apportionment method, Abe ends up with 10 pieces, Betty with 3 pieces, Cindy with 3 pieces, and Dave with 3 pieces. This is an example of
