Question

Laurie buys four bags of candy with ten pieces of candy in each bag then her father gives her five more pieces of candy Laurie wants to give as much of her candy as she can to each of her six friends and she wants to make sure they get a equal number of pieces how many pieces will be left over if any after Laurie gives her friends the candy

Answer 1

The answer is 7 candies for each friend with a remainder of 3. If you are taking or have taken decimals i suggest you write 7.5 because candy can be split in half.

Explanation:

First, multiply 4 by 10. The product is 40. Then, add 5. The sum is 45. Divide 45 by 6. The quotient is 7 with a remainder of 3.
