Answer:

So a whole number answer would be 3 per person with a remainder of 2.

or

It would be a mixed number and be 3 1/2 per person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you and your 3 friends are 4 people total.

4 is not a multiple of 14 so if you want to share equally youll have some leftover cause im assuming the answer must be a whole number and not a decimal.

But the most you and your friends can share equally is 3 per person. Since 4 people with 3 packs each (4 x 3) is 12 packs total with 2 packs leftover.

If you want to split these packs among the 4 of you, you can do 4/2 to get 1/2 a pack for each of you guys to share.

So a whole number answer would be 3 per person with a remainder of 2.

or

It would be a mixed number and be 3 1/2 per person.

Hope this helps!
