Answer:
16 friends
Step-by-step explanation:
Right at the beginning, you can take the 2 chocolates Jack was left with out of the 50 chocolates Jack had at the beginning. That equals 48 chocolate bars, so we know that Jack gave his friends a total if 48 chocolates
[tex]50 - 2 = 48[/tex]
Now that you have the number 48, you are really close to the answer.
If you know that he gave each if his friends 3 chocolates, you can make that into an equation and put it into a calculator. That would look like this:
[tex]48 \div 3 = 16[/tex]
The reason you do 48 ÷ 3 is because Jack divided his 48 chocolates into groups of 3 to give to each of the other kids.
You get the answer 16, which means the answer is 16 kids at his friend's birthday party.
