Michaiah can give muffins to a maximum of 14 friends.
To find the maximum number of friends to whom Michaiah can give muffins, we need to divide the total number of muffins by the number of muffins given to each friend.
Total number of muffins = 23 blueberry muffins + 20 strawberry muffins = 43 muffins
Number of muffins given to each friend = 3 muffins
Maximum number of friends = Total number of muffins / Muffins per friend
Maximum number of friends= 43 muffins/3 muffins/friend
Now, perform the division:
Maximum number of friends≈ 43/3
Since we want to find the maximum number of friends and we cannot have a fraction of a friend, we take the floor of the result:
Maximum number of friends=⌊ 43/3⌋
Maximum number of friends=14
Therefore, Michaiah can give muffins to a maximum of 14 friends.
