f of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of tarts each of her friends received in terms of f?
- If f = 13, how many tarts did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of tarts left after Eva ate = 344 - 3
fNumber of tarts that each of her friends received =
344 - 3f5 (b)
