Answer:

Total number of peanuts =n

He shared with 5 people = 6 people

Each person had at least 18

n/6>=18

Explanation:

When question like this is given , the English is very important. He shares with his friends is different from he shares among his friends. Then also, at least means greater than or equal to.
