Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of sweets each friend gets = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of sweets s that each friend gets = the number of sweets in a box n ÷ number of friends f the sweets are shared between

s = n ÷ f

s = n/ f

if there are 60 sweets and 12 friends.

That is,

n = 60 sweets

f = 12 friends

Find s,

s = n/ f

= 60 / 12

= 5

s = 5 sweets

The number of sweets each friend gets = 5
