Answer: 15

Explanation:

So 4/4 = 20 cookies so then 3/4 is 15 cookies. All your doing is counting by 5’s.

For example, 5, 10, 15, 20

1/4 2/4 3/4 4/4

So your looking for 3/4 which is 15

Answer: 15 chocolate chip cookies

*correct me if I’m wrong*

Answer:

15 cookies are chocolate

Explanation:

Well it's actually quite easy, just think about it this way. 20/4=5 since there's a 4 as the denominator in the fraction. Or there's many other ways to find the answer. At the end of the day, you'll get the same answer just some ways are harder especially compared to the one I did.

Since we divided 4 into 20, we know the answer to that is 5.

3/4=15 if you think about it in a certain way.

Therefore the answer is 15 since 3x5= 3/4 and both of those equal 15

Hope this helps
