Erika baked 168 muffins. She ate 3
h of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of h?
- If h = 16, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Erika ate = 168 - 3
hNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
168 - 3h5 (b)
Number of muffins that each of her friends received
= (168 - (3 x 16)) ÷ 5
= (168 - 48) ÷ 5
= 120 ÷ 5
= 24
Answer(s): (a)
168 - 3h5; (b) 24
