Answer:

If Mrs. Jenkins gives 10 cookies to her six sons and they share the cookies equally, each son should get:

10 cookies รท 6 sons = 1.67 cookies per son (rounded to two decimal places)

However, since the cookies cannot be divided into fractions, we need to round the answer to a whole number. In this case, we can either round up or down to the nearest whole number.

If we round down, each son would get 1 cookie.

If we round up, each son would get 2 cookies.

Therefore, if the cookies cannot be divided into fractions, each son should get either 1 or 2 cookies, depending on whether we round down or up.
