Nellie split 10 pieces of candy equally among f friends. Which expression shows how many pieces of candy each friend received?

To find out how many pieces of candy each friend received when Nellie split 10 pieces equally among \( f \) friends, you need to divide the total number of candies by the number of friends. 

The expression that shows how many pieces of candy each friend received is:

\[
\frac{10}{f}
\]

This expression represents the division of 10 candies among \( f \) friends.

Would you like further details or have any other questions? Here are some related questions:

1. What happens if \( f = 0 \)?
2. If there are 5 friends, how many pieces does each friend get?
3. How would the expression change if there were 15 pieces of candy instead of 10?
4. What if one friend received 2 extra pieces, how would you represent the expression?
5. How can you express the total number of candies if each friend gets \( c \) candies?
6. How would the answer change if Nellie split the candies unevenly?
7. What if \( f \) is not a whole number?
8. Can you represent this situation using a fraction?

**Tip:** When dividing a quantity equally, always consider the divisor's value and ensure it's not zero, as division by zero is undefined.
