Leonel · Answer 1

The answer is 7 candies for each friend with a remainder of 3. If you are taking or have taken decimals i suggest you write 7.5 because candy can be split in half.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 4 by 10. The product is 40. Then, add 5. The sum is 45. Divide 45 by 6. The quotient is 7 with a remainder of 3.
