Five friends buy a package of 12 cookies and want to share them equally. Each friend will get 1/5 of the cookies. How much will each friend get?
Divide 12 by 5.
To determine how much each friend will get, you need to divide the total number of cookies (12) by the number of friends (5):
12 cookies รท 5 friends = 2.4 cookies per friend.
Since you cannot have a fraction of a cookie, you need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, each friend will get 2 cookies.
