27 * 8/9 = 24

24 / 12 = 2

each classmate received 2 donuts

To find out how many donuts each friend received, we need to subtract the number of donuts Marcela ate from the total number of donuts, and then divide the remaining number of donuts by the number of friends.

Step 1: Calculate the number of donuts Marcela ate.
Marcela ate one-ninth of the donuts, which can be calculated by dividing the total number of donuts by 9:
27 ÷ 9 = 3 donuts (Marcela ate 3 donuts)

Step 2: Calculate the remaining number of donuts.
To find the remaining number of donuts, subtract the number of donuts Marcela ate from the total number of donuts:
27 - 3 = 24 donuts (Remaining donuts)

Step 3: Divide the remaining donuts equally among the classmates.
Divide the remaining number of donuts by the number of classmates to find out how many donuts each friend received:
24 ÷ 12 = 2 donuts

Therefore, each of Marcela's 12 classmates received 2 donuts.
