Mr.Chan made 252 cookies for the Annual Fifth Grade Bake Sale. They sold 3/4 of them, and 3/9 of the remaining cookies were given to PTA members. Mr. Chan allowed 12 students to help divide the cookies that were left equally. How many cookies will each student get? Please explain! Due 2-19-17

Each Student gets 1/36 of a cookie because when you divide 3/9 by 12 you get 1/36.
