Question

6 friends are coming to a party and each friend want 5 cookies but each box has twelve cookies so how many boxes do they need

Answer 1

2.5 boxes

Explanation:

So, if each friend wants 5 cookies then you would multiply 6*5 which =30. Then you would divide 30 by 12 boxes which = 2.5. So you need 2.5 boxes or 3 if they need to be whole.

Answer 2

Answer: 3 boxes

Explanation:

6 x 5 = 30

36(closest multiple of 12 to 30) divided by 12 = 3
