Answer 1

The correct expression to calculate how many flyers each of Armando's friends received is (400 – 200) : 4, which simplifies to 200 divided by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct expression to calculate how many flyers Armando gave each friend is:

(400 - 200) : 4

Here's the explanation:

400: Represents the total number of flyers Armando wants to give out.

200: Represents the number of flyers Armando gave out himself.

400 - 200: Represents the number of flyers remaining to be distributed among his friends.

4: Represents the number of friends who volunteered to help.

(400 - 200) : 4: This expression divides the remaining flyers (400 - 200) by the number of friends (4) to calculate how many flyers each friend receives.

Therefore, (400 - 200) : 4 is the correct expression to calculate the number of flyers per friend.

Answer 2

Answer: (400-200)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is correct because it said he passed out 200 by himself. He then gave the other 2 to his 4 friends. It would make sense to divide the 200 by 4.
