Hazel baked 398 scones. She ate 5
m of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of m?
- If m = 18, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Hazel ate = 398 - 5
mNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
398 - 5m4 (b)
Number of scones that each of her friends received
= (398 - (5 x 18)) ÷ 4
= (398 - 90) ÷ 4
= 308 ÷ 4
= 77
Answer(s): (a)
398 - 5m4; (b) 77
