Question

Mom is getting food ready for my birthday party! Including me, there will be 28 people at the party. Mom is baking cookies for us! She can bake 24 cookies per batch. How many batches should I tell Mom to make so we can each have 5 cookies?​

Answer 1

6 batches

Explanation:

so 28 people including you

24 cookies per batch

5 cookies each

24 cookies in each batch, if you round that up it would be 30 and 30 x 5 = 150, so instead of rounding the amount of cookies, add 1 more to the amount you multiply 24 by

then it would be 24 x 6 = 144

now divide that by 28

144/28= 5 1/6

it would take 6 (7 if everyone gets whole numbers of cookies because It would be a fraction if not 7) batches to make sure everyone gets cookies

double check:

24 times 6 = cookies

144/28= 5 1/6

Answer 2

The answer would be six batches of cookies.
