Answer:
5 sweets per friend, 3 left over.
To divide the 23 sweets equally among the 4 friends, we need to find out how many sweets each friend would receive and how many sweets would be left over.
a) To find out how many sweets each friend would receive, we can divide the total number of sweets (23) by the number of friends (4).
23 sweets ÷ 4 friends = 5 sweets per friend
So each friend would receive 5 sweets.
b) To determine how many sweets would be left over, we need to find the remainder when dividing 23 sweets by 4 friends.
23 sweets ÷ 4 friends = 5 sweets per friend with a remainder of 3
Therefore, there would be 3 sweets left over.
In summary:
a) Each friend would receive 5 sweets.
b) There would be 3 sweets left over.
Side note :
There is only one legitimate Maths skill required for this question, and it is long division. Unfortunately, Brainly does not allow users to post links, but there is a very useful tutorial on WikiHow!
