    A = 40/n

    Therefore, she gave each friend 40/n ounces of jelly beans.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given;

    Total amount of jelly beans To = 3 pounds = 3*16 ounces = 48 ounces

    Total amount kept for family Ta = 8 ounces

    Total amount given to friends = Ti

    Number of friends = n

    Amount given to each friend = A

    Ti = To - Ta

    A = Ti/n = (To-Ta) / n

    A = (48 - 8) / n

    A = 40/n

    Therefore she gave each friend 40/n ounces of jelly beans.
