Kevin had 85 books. He kept 29 books, and gave the rest of the books to his 8 friends.

Question

If all Kevin's friends have an equal number of books, how many books does each friend have?

5

6

7

8

Answer 1

To find out how many books each friend received, we first need to calculate how many books Kevin gave away.

Kevin had 85 books in total.
He kept 29 books.
85 - 29 = 56

Kevin gave away 56 books to his 8 friends.
56 books / 8 friends = 7 books per friend

Therefore, each friend received 7 books.

So, the answer is 7.
