Esther baked 184 scones. She ate 2
g of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of g?
- If g = 11, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Esther ate = 184 - 2
gNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
184 - 2g6 (b)
Number of scones that each of her friends received
= (184 - (2 x 11)) ÷ 6
= (184 - 22) ÷ 6
= 162 ÷ 6
= 27
Answer(s): (a)
184 - 2g6; (b) 27
