t of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of t?
- If t = 17, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Hazel ate = 151 - 5
tNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
151 - 5t6 (b)
