Answer:
A = 40/n
Therefore, she gave each friend 40/n ounces of jelly beans.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Total amount of jelly beans To = 3 pounds = 3×16 ounces = 48 ounces
Total amount kept for family Ta = 8 ounces
Total amount given to friends = Ti
Number of friends = n
Amount given to each friend = A
Ti = To - Ta
A = Ti/n = (To-Ta)/n
A = (48 - 8)/n
A = 40/n
Therefore she gave each friend 40/n ounces of jelly beans.
