Question

You and two friends share 7 cookies equally.How many cookies do you each get?

Answer 1

we know that
total cookies=
`7`
number of persons=
`3` (You and two friends)

divide total cookies by number of persons

`(7)/(3)`


`(7)/(3) = (6)/(3) + (1)/(3)`

`(6)/(3)` is equal to
`2`
so

`(7)/(3) =2 (1)/(3)`
everybody gets 2 whole cookies, and they split the last cookie into
`(1)/(3)`

the answer is

`2 (1)/(3)`
