Question

Grayson baked 24 sugar cookies. His family ate 1/3 of the cookies. How many cookies did they eat? How many cookies are left

Answer 1

His family ate 8 cookies, 16 cookies left

Explanation:

Multiply 24 by 1/3 to find what the family ate

24*1/3=8

So, his family ate 8 cookies

To find how many are left, subtract what the family ate from the total

24-8=16

So, 16 cookies are left

Hope this helps! :)
