Question

Rasputen and his three buddies are splitting a giant 18 inch cookie. But notice 1/4 of it is missing. If each person gets the same amount of the giant cookie what is the actual size of their piece?

Answer 1

Each of them will get 3.375 inches of cookie.

Explanation:

Rasputen and his three buddies are splitting a giant 18 inches cookie.

But they notice that
`(1)/(4)`th of it is missing.

So, the actual length of the cookie is
`18[1-(1)/(4) ]=18 * (3)/(4)=13.5` inches.

If all the four of them get the same amount of the giant cookie then each of them will get
`(13.5)/(4) = 3.375` inches of cookie. (Answer)
