Question

Paul makes 3 5/6 dozen cookies. He gives each of his friends 1/6 dozen cookies.

How many friends does Paul give cookies to?

Hurry and help, please.

Answer 1

If he gives ALL of the cookies away..

3 5/6 = 6/6 + 6/6 + 6/6 + 5/6

6+6+6+5 = 23

Paul has 23 friends. (if he takes 1/6, then he has 22)

hope this helps
