combinations word problems math

There are two different problems I am stuck on.

  1. In how many ways can we divide ten candies of the same kind among four children?

I haven't found a way to solve this one

2.In how many ways can we partition a group of 8 boys and 4 girls into two teams A and B having four boys and two girls each?

i thought maybe of going at it in thinking of only one group, (the second will also have to contain 4 boys and 2 girls if one does) `8 choose 4 has 70 options ----4 choose 2 has 6 options

Thank you in advance for your help
