Distributing Marbles Among Friends

Lucy has 7 bags of marbles. Each bag contains 128 marbles. She wants to distribute all the marbles equally among 14 friends. How many marbles will each friend receive?

To find the solution, first determine the total number of marbles Lucy has by multiplying the number of bags by the number of marbles per bag. This is calculated by the equation:

$$ ext{Total Marbles} = 7 imes 128 $$

Then, divide the total number of marbles by the number of friends:

$$ ext{Marbles per Friend} =\frac{ ext{Total Marbles}}{14} $$
