Fanny baked 248 croissants. She ate 4
f of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of croissants each of her friends received in terms of f?
- If f = 14, how many croissants did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of croissants left after Fanny ate = 248 - 4
fNumber of croissants that each of her friends received =
248 - 4f6 (b)
Number of croissants that each of her friends received
= (248 - (4 x 14)) ÷ 6
= (248 - 56) ÷ 6
= 192 ÷ 6
= 32
Answer(s): (a)
248 - 4f6; (b) 32
