Question

We make 72 cookies and 18 cookies are eaten. What fraction represents the portion of the whole batch that remains?

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

Create a chart 18 over 72 and x over 100

Now we multiply 18 by 100 to get 1800

We take that 1800 and divide it by 72 to get 25/100

We can simplify this to 1/4
