Mary baked 165 puffs. She ate 3
h of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of h?
- If h = 13, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Mary ate = 165 - 3
hNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
165 - 3h6 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received
= (165 - (3 x 13)) ÷ 6
= (165 - 39) ÷ 6
= 126 ÷ 6
= 21
Answer(s): (a)
165 - 3h6; (b) 21
