Opal bought some bags of kiwis. Each bag contained 8 kiwis. The total number of kiwis Opal bought was less than 40. Opal ate 2 kiwis and gave the rest equally to her 6 friends.

1. How many kiwis did Opal buy?
2. How many kiwis did Opal give to each friend?

(a)
The total number of kiwis is the multiples of 8 since each bag contained 8 kiwis.
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32

The total number of kiwis given to the 6 friends is the multiples of 6 since there were 6 friends.
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36

The total number of kiwis is the multiples of 6 with an added 2 kiwis since Opal ate 2 kiwis.
Multiples of 6 (+2): 8, 14, 20, 26, 32, 38

Number of kiwis that Opal bought = 32

(b)
Number of kiwis that Opal gave to each friend
= (32 - 2) ÷ 6
= 30 ÷ 6
= 5

Answer(s): (a) 32; (b) 5
