Sumalee won 40 super bouncy balls playing horseshoes at her school’s game night. Later, she gave two to each of her friends. She only has eight remaining. How many friends does she have?



Answer :

Start by subtracting the balls she has left from the total she won, which is ( 40 - 8 = ) 32 balls.

Since she gave 2 balls to each friend, we divide the remaining balls by 2

( 32 divided by 2 = 16).

Therefore, Sumalee has 16 friends.
