Jean baked 278 biscuits. She ate 6
h of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of h?
- If h = 13, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Jean ate = 278 - 6
hNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
278 - 6h4 (b)
Number of biscuits that each of her friends received
= (278 - (6 x 13)) ÷ 4
= (278 - 78) ÷ 4
= 200 ÷ 4
= 50
Answer(s): (a)
278 - 6h4; (b) 50
