Jean baked 326 biscuits. She ate 4
f of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of f?
- If f = 17, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Jean ate = 326 - 4
fNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
326 - 4f6 (b)
Number of biscuits that each of her friends received
= (326 - (4 x 17)) ÷ 6
= (326 - 68) ÷ 6
= 258 ÷ 6
= 43
Answer(s): (a)
326 - 4f6; (b) 43
