h of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of h?
- If h = 14, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Fanny ate = 274 - 6
hNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
274 - 6h5 (b)
