Natalie baked 222 tarts. She ate 5
g of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of tarts each of her friends received in terms of g?
- If g = 14, how many tarts did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of tarts left after Natalie ate = 222 - 5
gNumber of tarts that each of her friends received =
222 - 5g4 (b)
Number of tarts that each of her friends received
= (222 - (5 x 14)) ÷ 4
= (222 - 70) ÷ 4
= 152 ÷ 4
= 38
Answer(s): (a)
222 - 5g4; (b) 38
