Zoe baked 238 puffs. She ate 2
v of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of v?
- If v = 14, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Zoe ate = 238 - 2
vNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
238 - 2v5 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received
= (238 - (2 x 14)) ÷ 5
= (238 - 28) ÷ 5
= 210 ÷ 5
= 42
Answer(s): (a)
238 - 2v5; (b) 42
