Answer:

We conclude that is 20 the greatest number of friends with whom he can share his cookies.

Explanation:

We know that Marion has 50 oatmeal cookies in 20 peanut butter cookies. We know that Marian give each friend and equal number of each type of cookie. We calculate what is the greatest number of friends with whom he can share his cookies.

We conclude that is 20 the greatest number of friends with whom he can share his cookies.

Because that way everyone will get 1 oatmeal and 1 peanut butter cookie.
