Laurie buys four bags of candy with 10 pieces of candy in each bag. Her father then gives her 5 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 each get an equal number of pieces. How many pieces will be left over, if any, after Laurie gives her friends the candy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 pieces left over

Step-by-step explanation:

Laurie has a total of 45 pieces of candy, if she has 6 friends, you can do

[tex]45 \div 6 = 7.5[/tex]

each friend can get 7 pieces of candy

[tex]7 \times 6 = 42[/tex]

if each friend gets 7 pieces, you have used 42 pieces out of you total 45

[tex]45 - 42 = 3[/tex]

which leaves 3 pieces left over.
