Question

Zeke and Niko are eating cookies. The ratio of the number of cookies Zeke ate to the number Niko ate was 2 to 1 (so Zeke had twice as many as Niko). If the total number of cookies eaten was 18 then how many did Niko eat?

​

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

1/2 of 12 is 6

Zeke ate twice as much as Niko, so he ate 12 and Niko ate 6.

This makes 18 cookies eaten in total.
