Katie gives Maggie half of her pencils. Maggie keeps 5 pencils and gives the rest to Jamil. A. Write an expression for the numbe

Lena [83]

Answer:

A. (y/2) - 5, B. 3

Explanation:

Lets assume that the total number of pencils is y.

Katie gives Maggie half, i.e. = $\frac{y}{2}$

Hence Maggie has $\frac{y}{2}$ pencils

If Maggie keeps 5 pencils and give the rest to Jamil, the expression for the number of pencils Maggie gives to Jamil therefore is;

Expression of pencil given to Jamil = (y/2) - 5

To get the number of pencils Maggie gave to Jamil if Katie had 16 pencils, simply substitute y as 16.

(16/2) - 5

No of pencil given to Jamil = 8 - 5

= 3
