Question

Tanner is counting all of his halloween candy. He counted 9,821 pieces. He decided to give his friends some of the candy. He wanted to give jack 2/7 of his candy. How many pieces did tanner get?

Answer 1

Tanner would have 7,015 pieces of candy, and his friend would get 2,806 pieces.

You’d divide the candy by 7 to get the seven parts, then multiply by two to calculate how much candy his friend got

9821/7= 1403 pieces of candy per part
1403•2= 2806 ~ how much his friend got
1403•5= 7016~ how much tanner had left
