Question

Mary invited 14 of her friends to her birthday party. If she has 190 cookies to be distributed among her friends equally, then calculate the number of cookies each friend will get. Also calculate the number of cookies left behind.

Answer 1

Total number of cookies = 190
Number of friends = 14
To calculate the number of cookies each friend will get if they are distributed equally, we need to divide 190 by 14.

$$\begin{array}{c}13\\ 14190\\ -\underset{–}{14}2\\ 50\\ -\underset{–}{42}\\ 8\end{array}$$
So, we get a quotient of 13 and a remainder of 8, which means each friend will get 13 cookies and 8 cookies will be left behind.
