Answer:
each friend will get 3 pieces of cookie.
Explanation:
Let's represent the given information in a mathematical expression using brackets:
Total number of cookies = 2 packets * 12 cookies/packet = 24 cookies
Pratik ate 4 cookies, so the remaining number of cookies is:
Remaining cookies = Total number of cookies - Cookies eaten by Pratik
Remaining cookies = 24 cookies - 4 cookies = 20 cookies
Pratik gave 5 cookies to his brother, so the remaining number of cookies is:
Remaining cookies = Remaining cookies - Cookies given to Pranav
Remaining cookies = 20 cookies - 5 cookies = 15 cookies
Now, Pratik wants to share the remaining pieces of cookies equally among his 5 friends. To find out how many pieces of cookie each friend gets, we need to divide the remaining number of cookies by the number of friends:
Number of pieces of cookie each friend gets = Remaining cookies / Number of friends
Number of pieces of cookie each friend gets = 15 cookies / 5 friends = 3 cookies per friend
Therefore, each friend will get 3 pieces of cookie.
