Rachel baked 246 wafers. She ate 6
v of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of v?
- If v = 13, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Rachel ate = 246 - 6
vNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
246 - 6v4 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (246 - (6 x 13)) ÷ 4
= (246 - 78) ÷ 4
= 168 ÷ 4
= 42
Answer(s): (a)
246 - 6v4; (b) 42
