are chocolate chip. How many of the cookies are chocolate chip?

Answer 1

In these fractional multiplication problems 4 times 16 is 64, and 4 times 16 divided by 3 is 21.33. While 3/2 times the total number of cookies (18) typically yields 27, in this case the question seems to have errors.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first question:

1. 4/1 of 16 means we multiply 4 with 16 yielding 64.
2. 4/3 of 16 means we first divide 16 by 3 and then multiply by 4 resulting in approximately 21.33.

For the second question: if 3/2 out of 18 cookies are chocolate chip, which means more than 1 full amount, it implies a possible misinterpretation. However, typically we multiply 3/2 (or 1.5) with 18 to get the total chocolate chip cookies, which would yield 27 cookies, but since the total is 18, it might have been structured wrongly.
