Gabby baked 270 scones. She ate 6
v of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of v?
- If v = 15, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Gabby ate = 270 - 6
vNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
270 - 6v4 (b)
Number of scones that each of her friends received
= (270 - (6 x 15)) ÷ 4
= (270 - 90) ÷ 4
= 180 ÷ 4
= 45
Answer(s): (a)
270 - 6v4; (b) 45
