Answer: 5 chips

======================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Use your calculator to find that 89/6 = 14.8333 approximately

The whole part 14 means each of the six people get 14 chips

That means 6*14 = 84 chips have been eaten so far, leaving 89-84 = 5 chips left over for her sister.

----------

In other words,

89/6 = 14 remainder 5

which can be found through long division as shown below
