Eli had 17 cookies
a) if Eli had 1/3 of the cookies what would he had left?
B) if he had 2/3 what would be left?
a) If Eli had 1/3 of the cookies, he would have 5 and 2/3 cookies left. But let's be honest, who eats 2/3 of a cookie? It's either a full cookie or no cookie at all!
b) If Eli had 2/3 of the cookies, he would have 5 and 2/3 of his dignity left because eating that many cookies might be considered a crime in some countries. Remember, share the cookies, don't hog them all for yourself!
To find the answers to these questions, we need to perform some calculations using the given information.
a) If Eli had 1/3 of the cookies, we need to find out how many cookies are equal to 1/3 of the total number of cookies. To do this, we can use the equation:
1/3 * 17 = (1 * 17) / 3 = 17 / 3 = 5.67 (approx)
So, if Eli had 1/3 of the cookies, he would have had approximately 5.67 cookies. Since we cannot have a fraction of a cookie, we round down to the nearest whole number. Hence, Eli would have had 5 cookies left.
b) Similarly, if Eli had 2/3 of the cookies, we can use the equation:
2/3 * 17 = (2 * 17) / 3 = 34 / 3 = 11.33 (approx)
If Eli had 2/3 of the cookies, he would have had approximately 11.33 cookies. Rounding down to the nearest whole number, Eli would have had 11 cookies left.
In summary:
a) If Eli had 1/3 of the cookies, he would have had 5 cookies left.
b) If Eli had 2/3 of the cookies, he would have had 11 cookies left.
a) If Eli had 1/3 of the cookies, he would have (1/3) * 17 = 17/3 cookies.
To find out what he would have left, we subtract the number of cookies he had from the number of cookies he started with.
So, the number of cookies he would have left is 17 - 17/3 = 51/3 - 17/3 = 34/3.
So, Eli would have had 34/3 cookies left.
b) If Eli had 2/3 of the cookies, he would have (2/3) * 17 = 34/3 cookies.
Similarly, to find out what he would have left, we subtract the number of cookies he had from the number of cookies he started with.
So, the number of cookies he would have left is 17 - 34/3 = 51/3 - 34/3 = 17/3.
So, Eli would have had 17/3 cookies left.
