Question

Lucy baked 12 cookies. she baked 6 more and split them up equally between herself and 2 friends. how many cookies did each person have? which equation represents the problem?

O 12+ 6 ÷ 3 = 14
O 12 ÷ (3 + 6) = 1.3
O 3 ÷ 12 +6 = 10
O (12 + 6) ÷ 3 = 6

Answer 1

Lucy initially baked 12 cookies. She then baked 6 more cookies, making a total of 18 cookies. She split the 18 cookies equally between herself and 2 friends, so each person had 6 cookies and equation that represents this problem is (12 + 6) ÷ 3 = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy initially baked 12 cookies. She then baked 6 more cookies, making a total of 18 cookies. She split the 18 cookies equally between herself and 2 friends. To find out how many cookies each person had, we can divide the total number of cookies by the number of people. In this case, there are 3 people (Lucy and her 2 friends), so we divide 18 cookies by 3 to get 6 cookies per person.

The equation that represents this problem is (12 + 6) ÷ 3 = 6.
