Question

Olivia has 10 buckets of blueberries that each have 60 blueberries. Olivia eats 80 blueberries and then wants to share the rest with her 8 friends. How many blueberries will each of her friends get if the blueberries are divided evenly between her friends?

Answer 1

65

Explanation:

10×60=600

Olivia has 600 blueberries in total

600-80=520

then she got 520 left

520÷8=65

each of her friends can have 65 blueberries

Answer 2

- 1 bucket = 60 blueberries

- 10 buckets = 600 blueberries (60 x 10)

She eats 80 blueberries, so 600 - 80 = 520

She has 520 blueberries left.

She wants to share them evenly between her 8 friends, so 520/8, which is 65.

Therefore, each of her friends get 65 blueberries.
