Vanessa baked 236 wafers. She ate 5
m of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of m?
- If m = 16, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Vanessa ate = 236 - 5
mNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
236 - 5m6 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (236 - (5 x 16)) ÷ 6
= (236 - 80) ÷ 6
= 156 ÷ 6
= 26
Answer(s): (a)
236 - 5m6; (b) 26
