Answer:

The answer is Deserea.

Explanation:

Dont worry, this is simple :)

If you have a dozen cookies, that means you have 12 cookies!

And 1/4 of 12 is simply 12 divided by 4, which equeals 3, so Carla ate 3 cookies.

And Deserea ate ½ of the cookies, which is 12 divided by 2, which is 6! So Deserea ate 6 cookies.

6 is greater than 3. So Deserea ate more Cookies!

Hope this helps!
