Question

Sumalee won 40 super bouncy balls playing horseshoes at her school’s game night. Later, she gave 2 to each of her friends. She only has 8 remaining. How many friends does she have?

Answer 1

16 friends

Explanation:

total = 40 balls

remaining = 8 balls

given out = 40 - 8

= 32 balls

each friend = 2 balls

x friends = 32 balls

32 ÷ 2 = 16 friends

Answer 2

She has 16 friends

Explanation:

40 minus 8 is 32 so that divided by 2 is 16
