Gwen baked 194 tarts. She ate 2
h of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of tarts each of her friends received in terms of h?
- If h = 17, how many tarts did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of tarts left after Gwen ate = 194 - 2
hNumber of tarts that each of her friends received =
194 - 2h4 (b)
Number of tarts that each of her friends received
= (194 - (2 x 17)) ÷ 4
= (194 - 34) ÷ 4
= 160 ÷ 4
= 40
Answer(s): (a)
194 - 2h4; (b) 40
