Answer:
9 friends
Step-by-step explanation:
since The total is 50.
and each friend was given 6 then the ratio of friend to chocolate is 1:6 .
but one friend received 2.
hance there's two possible ways of solving
one by subtract two and latter adding the friend who did not receive
x=1/6(50-2)
x=1/6(48)
x=8 ; note one did not receive 6.
therefore James had 9 friends.
or better still you could add 4 to the total (which means all received equally)
x=1/6(50+4)
x=1/6(54)
x=9
