Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Ricky has 40 roses. His little sister steals 4 roses. If he wants to give away the rest of the roses in equal portions to 9 different people, how many roses will each person get?
After Ricky's little sister takes 4 roses, Ricky has 40 - 4 = 36 roses. Ricky can give each person 36 / 9 = 4 roses.
The final answer: 4.
