There were 40 fingers total on the number of gloves mrs. edwards knitted. how many gloves did mrs. edward knit.

40 ÷10 = 4

Mrs Edward knitted 4 pairs of gloves.

Hello there!

There were 40 fingers total on the number of gloves Mrs. Edwards knitted. How many gloves did Mrs.Edward knit.

First, we must assume that each glove has a total of 5 fingers (unless there is a deformity, but we will just that they are normal hands)

So, from this we can make an equation:

x represents the number of gloves. 

5x = 40 

To solve this equation, we must isolate the 'x'. So, we will work backwards.

40/5 = x

40/5 = 8

Mrs. Edwards sews 8 gloves.

This means that she sews 4 pairs of gloves.

I hope I helped!
