Elizabeth had a box of 24 crayons. Her little brother ate 2 of them. She split the remaining crayons between her and her 2 friends. How many crayons did each friend get?
So, she has 22 crayons, because her brother ate 2 of them. She split them with 3 people, (herself, and her two friends.) So, divide 22 / 3, which is ≈7.
