Answer 2

4

Explanation:

The question is asking how many cookies can the teacher evenly divide to each student. This can be solved simply by doing a division problem. 18/4 = 4 and a remainder of 2. The question doesn't specify if there can be a remainder or not but each student would get 4 whole cookies and half of a cookie.
