Mia won 77 pieces of gum playing hoops at her school's game night. Later, she gave three to each of her friends. She only has 5 remaining. How many friends does she have?
77 minus the 5 she still has so 72 then you divide 72 by 3 because she gave three pieces to each of her friends so you get 24 the answer is 24
Thank you so much you were right
ok fine then
No problem but i do propose you do try your best to learn the material on your own so as to not have to ask :) I hope that helped you though
Please wait for a math tutor — someone who will explain things for you, not just hand out a number without explanation.
To find out how many friends Mia has, we need to find the number of gum pieces she gave to her friends.
To do this, we subtract the remaining gum pieces (5) from the initial number she won (77):
77 - 5 = 72
Therefore, Mia gave away 72 gum pieces to her friends.
Since she gave three gum pieces to each friend, we can divide the total number of gum pieces given away (72) by 3:
72 ÷ 3 = 24
Therefore, Mia has 24 friends.
