Later, she gave two to each of her friends. She then gave one to her mother, one to her
father, and two to her sister. She only
has 8 remaining. How many friends does she
have? Use three sentences to explain how you got your answer.

ReplyDeleteSumalee has 14 friends. I got my answer by subtracting 40 - 1 - 1 - 2 = 36, then 36 - 8 = 28. (since she had 8 remaining). 28 divided by 2 is 14. She had 14 friends to give 2 candies each.
Sumalee has 14 friends. To get this I subtracted 40-12 (Adding all the missing ones together) and got 28. Since she gave each of her friends 2, I divided 28 by 2 and got 14.
ReplyDeleteSumalee has 14 friends. To get my answer I subtracted 40-1-1-2+36,36-8=28(Since she has 8 left over).Then I divided 28 by2 and got 14.

ReplyDelete28 divide by two is 14. she had 14 freinds to give 2 candies each.
i did mental math i knew if she had 8 balls and just counting her friends not her family she would have 12 balls left. so i did 40 - 12 and got 28 balls left divide that by 2 and get 14 so she has 24 freinds . thats how i got my answer

ReplyDeletefirst you have to subtract 4 b/c she gave away 4 to get =36. then subtract 36 by 8 b/c she keep 8 to get 28 .Now 26 by 2 b/c she gave 2 to all her friends to get 14. So she has 14 friends.

Sumalee gave two balls to each of her 14 friends. If subtract 40 from 4 it well come up 36. Then you want to take that 36 that indicates her mom, dad, and sister. And subtract 8 an you get 28. Now you take that 28 that indicates the balls that sumalee had left over. And you divide 28 by 2 an get 14.

40-8=32, 32-2 for her sister. Then subtract 2 for her mom and dad. which would be 28, then she gave 2 to each of her friends, 28 divided by 2 (each of her friends got 2) = 14

ReplyDeleteSumalee has 14 friends. I got this answer by subtracting 4 from 40 because 1 plus 1 plus 2 is 4 and I got 36. Then, I subtracted 8 from 36, since 8 is how many she has now, and got 28. Lastly, I divided 28 by 2 and the answer is 14.

ReplyDeleteSumalee has 14 friends. I figured that out by adding the amount of balls she gave to her mom, dad and sister which is 4 then i subtracted 40-4=36 then i subtract 36-8=28 then i divided 28 by 2 to get 14.
I agree with dakota because there were only 8 super bouncy balls left . Because 40-4=36 and 36-8=28 and then 28/2=14. This is also how I got my answer.

ReplyDeleteif sumalee has 40 bouncy balls she give 1 to her mother 1 to her father and 2 to her sister that is 4 balls and now she has 32. you add 8+4 and get 12 then you subtract 40-12 and get 28 so you divide till you get an answer that is equal to 28. the right answer is she has 14 friends.

ReplyDeleteSumalee has 14 friends because if she gave 4 balls away to her family then she has 36. She is left with 8 balls so 36-8=28. 28 divided into 2, since she gave 2 balls away to each friend, equals 14.
This reflection question is CLOSED. Late answers must be handed in on paper.
ReplyDeletesumalee would have 14 friemds. how i got my answer is i first did 40-4 which equals 36. the i did 36-8 which equals 28. lastly i divided 28 by 2 and got 14. so sumalee would have 14 friends.
