Olivium baked 291 croissants. She ate 3
h of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of croissants each of her friends received in terms of h?
- If h = 11, how many croissants did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of croissants left after Olivium ate = 291 - 3
hNumber of croissants that each of her friends received =
291 - 3h6 (b)
Number of croissants that each of her friends received
= (291 - (3 x 11)) ÷ 6
= (291 - 33) ÷ 6
= 258 ÷ 6
= 43
Answer(s): (a)
291 - 3h6; (b) 43
