Question

Mr. Moses baked 11 dozen cookies for his class.

Of his 19 students, 4 were absent. He put aside a
dozen cookies for the absent students and
divided the rest of the cookies evenly among the
the students that were present. How many
cookies did each present student get?

Answer 1

8 cookies for each student that was present

Explanation:

11 total dozens

10 dozens were separated throughout the present students

He has a TOTAL of 19 students but FOUR were absent

19-4=15

a dozen is 12

so 12x10=120

120 divide by 15 = 8
