To find out how many cherries Rose got, we need to divide the total number of cherries Wilma had by the number of friends she visited, including Rose.
Wilma started with 64 cherries. She visited five friends, including Rose. So, we need to divide the number of cherries by 5.
64 cherries รท 5 friends = 12.8 cherries
Since we can't have a fraction of a cherry, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Rose got 12 cherries.
