Lynn baked 258 tarts. She ate 5
q of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of tarts each of her friends received in terms of q?
- If q = 18, how many tarts did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of tarts left after Lynn ate = 258 - 5
qNumber of tarts that each of her friends received =
258 - 5q4 (b)
Number of tarts that each of her friends received
= (258 - (5 x 18)) ÷ 4
= (258 - 90) ÷ 4
= 168 ÷ 4
= 42
Answer(s): (a)
258 - 5q4; (b) 42
