Question

a. 6 friends
b. 8 friends
c. 10 friends
d. 12 friends

○ b
○ c
○ a
○ d

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

We know the total number of candy canes is 24 and the number of candy canes per friend is 4. To find the number of friends, we use division: number of friends = total candy canes / candy canes per friend.

Step2: Perform the calculation

Using the formula, we have \( \frac{24}{4} = 6 \)? Wait, no, wait, there's a mistake. Wait, 24 divided by 4 is 6? But the options have A and B as 6? Wait, the original problem: Jack had 24 candy canes, gave each friend 4. So 24 / 4 = 6? But the options: A. 6 friends, B. 6 friends (maybe typo, A and B same), C.10, D.12. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, 24 divided by 4 is 6. So the correct option is A or B (since A and B are both 6 friends). Wait, the options: A. 6 friends, B. 6 friends, C.10, D.12. So the correct answer is A. 6 friends (or B, since they are same). But let's check again. Total candy canes:24, per friend:4. So number of friends = 24/4 = 6. So the correct option is A. 6 friends (or B, as they are same). But in the options, A and B are both 6. So the answer is A. 6 friends (or B, but likely A or B, but let's see the options. The user's options: A. 6 friends, B. 6 friends, C.10, D.12. So the correct answer is A. 6 friends (or B, but maybe a typo, but the calculation is 24/4=6. So the answer is A. 6 friends.

Answer:

A. 6 friends
