Min baked 398 scones. She ate 2
m of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of m?
- If m = 13, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Min ate = 398 - 2
mNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
398 - 2m4 (b)
Number of scones that each of her friends received
= (398 - (2 x 13)) ÷ 4
= (398 - 26) ÷ 4
= 372 ÷ 4
= 93
Answer(s): (a)
398 - 2m4; (b) 93
