Elyse baked 343 biscuits. She ate 5
f of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of f?
- If f = 11, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Elyse ate = 343 - 5
fNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
343 - 5f6 (b)
Number of biscuits that each of her friends received
= (343 - (5 x 11)) ÷ 6
= (343 - 55) ÷ 6
= 288 ÷ 6
= 48
Answer(s): (a)
343 - 5f6; (b) 48
