WORD PROBLEM! Sally has 15 apples. She gives some of her apples to three friends. They each get the same amount. Sally now has 9 apples. How many did each friend get?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Each friend got 2 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

[original amount of apples]-[Apples Sally has after distribution] = [friends] x [number of apples]

Filling in the brackets, you get this equation.

15-9=3 x apples per friend

6=3 x apples per friend

2 = apples per friend

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

15 ÷ 3= 2

friend 1

2 Friend 2

2 friend 3

Add up each one to get 6.

15 - 6 = 9

Hope this helps.
