Answer:

3 [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] pastries

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount to be shared / number of people sharing

23 / 7

To simplify easily in our heads, we can take 23 and subtract 7. That then becomes a 1. Subtract 7 again, it becomes a 2. We can do this until we have taken all of the wholes (equivalent to 1) out of 23/7. The math for this is shown below.

[tex]\frac{23}{7} =\frac{7 +7 +7+2}{7} =3\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

Have a nice day!
