bella baked 6 dozen cookies. she wants to keep 1 dozen and give the rest to 20 friends. she wants to give an equal number of cookies to each friend. how many cookies does each friend get? justify your answer.

I'll be glad to check your answer.

i don't know it that's why i'm asking u.

12 is in 1 dozen. so 12x6 is 72.. Since she wants to keep 1 dozen 72-12=60... She has 20 friends so divide 20 and 60

It's 3

To find out how many cookies each friend will get, we first need to determine the total number of cookies Bella has after she keeps 1 dozen (which is 12 cookies).

Since Bella baked 6 dozen cookies, and she keeps 1 dozen, we subtract 1 dozen (12 cookies) from the total:

6 dozen - 1 dozen = 5 dozen

Now we need to convert the remaining 5 dozen into individual cookies.

Since 1 dozen is equal to 12 cookies, we can multiply 5 dozen by 12 to find the total number of remaining cookies:

5 dozen * 12 = 60 cookies

Now that we know Bella has 60 cookies left to distribute among her 20 friends, we divide 60 by 20 to find out how many cookies each friend will get:

60 cookies ÷ 20 friends = 3 cookies per friend

So each friend will receive 3 cookies.

To justify this answer, we can check if distributing 3 cookies per friend is equal to the total number of cookies. By multiplying 20 friends by 3 cookies per friend:

20 friends * 3 cookies per friend = 60 cookies

We see that 20 friends receiving 3 cookies each results in a total of 60 cookies, which matches the remaining cookies that Bella has. Therefore, each friend will receive 3 cookies.
