Alondra can give each friend a total of 2 peanut bags.

Bar chart

Alondra has 18 bags of peanuts to share equally among 9 friends. To find out how many bags each friend can receive, divide the total number of bags by the number of friends:

`\[ \text{Bags per friend} = \frac{\text{Total bags}}{\text{Number of friends}} \]`

`\[ \text{Bags per friend} = (18)/(9) = 2 \]`

Therefore, Alondra can give each friend 2 bags of peanuts.

For the bar chart, divide the total length of the bar (representing the total bags) equally into 9 segments to visualize the distribution of 18 bags among 9 friends. Each segment represents 2 bags as shown in the attached image.
