Julie baked 212 wafers. She ate 5
g of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of g?
- If g = 16, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Julie ate = 212 - 5
gNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
212 - 5g6 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (212 - (5 x 16)) ÷ 6
= (212 - 80) ÷ 6
= 132 ÷ 6
= 22
Answer(s): (a)
212 - 5g6; (b) 22
