Step-by-step explanation:

Branson and his sister Beatrice combined their allowance of $7 each. This means that the total amount they had is 7 + 7 = $14

They bought a movie for $12. The amount that they have left is

14 - 12 = $2

They bought $1 containers of fruit salad with the remaining money and split the containers evenly between them. This means that the number of containers that they bought is

2/1 = 2

If they split the containers evenly between themselves, then each person would get

2/2 = 1 container of fruit salad
