Gwen baked 340 tarts. She ate 2
r of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of tarts each of her friends received in terms of r?
- If r = 11, how many tarts did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of tarts left after Gwen ate = 340 - 2
rNumber of tarts that each of her friends received =
340 - 2r6 (b)
Number of tarts that each of her friends received
= (340 - (2 x 11)) ÷ 6
= (340 - 22) ÷ 6
= 318 ÷ 6
= 53
Answer(s): (a)
340 - 2r6; (b) 53
