| User: Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2

|
| Claude: To solve this, let's break it down step-by-step:
|
| We know that Sally has 3 brothers. Each of Sally's brothers has
| 2 sisters. This might make you think that there are 6 sisters
| in total (3 brothers x 2 sisters each). However, this is not
| the case. The sisters that each brother has are the same - they
| are Sally and one other sister. The question is asking how many
| sisters Sally herself has, not the total number of sisters in
| the family. Since Sally is a girl, she cannot be her own
| sister. Therefore, the number of sisters Sally has is equal to
| the number of sisters each of her brothers has minus herself.
| So, if each brother has 2 sisters, and one of those sisters is
| Sally, then Sally must have 2 - 1 = 1 sister. Therefore, Sally
| has 1 sister.
