Answer 1

To solve this we will first see how many hats Susan has left when she lets her friends borrow the hats.

45 - 3 = 42
42 - 2 = 40

So, Susan has 40 hats left after her friends borrowed some. Now lets divide to see how many hats will go in 1 cupboard.

40 ÷ 20 = 2
2 hats in each cupboard.

CHECK OUR WORK:-

20 × 2 = 40.
We were RIGHT!!!


So, after Susan's friends borrow some of her hats she can put 2 hats in each cupboard.
