Final answer:
By dividing the total number of cookies (24) by the number of boxes (3), we find that there are 8 cookies in each box. Option a is the correct option among the given options.
Step-by-step explanation:
Liam bakes two dozen Thanksgiving cookies. A dozen represents 12 objects. Therefore, two dozen cookies would be 24 cookies in total. If he puts an equal number of cookies in three boxes, we divide the total number of cookies by the number of boxes to find out how many are in each box.
24 cookies ÷ 3 boxes = 8 cookies per box.
So, the answer is a) 8 cookies in each box.
