Answer 1

We can use the key words in this word problem to construct an exression

22 bags of 7 apples     in this case think of this as 22 x 7

 

shares equally among 12 friends    think of this as "dividing" among her friends

 

so we have (22x7)/12= # of apples for each friend

 

can you finish the problem?

 

 

Answer 2

22 bags times 7 apples = 154 apples

154 apples / 12 friends = 12.83333.....

 

Either Alex cuts the apples into pieces or the numbers are not correct.
