Your Question: <span>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? My Answer: If Laurie has four bags with ten pieces in each bag, and if her father gives her five more pieces, she would have forty-five pieces and if she has six friends and wants to share it equally with six friends. Each friend would get 7 pieces. My Work: <span>45 ÷ 6 = 7.5 </span>Hope I helped ♥ James.</span>
Bus stop method. 3 goes into 4 once. Remainer 1. Add that to the 5. Makes 15. 3 into 15 goes 5 times. No remainder. 3 goes into 9, 3 times and no remainer. So 459/3 is 153
