Buckley and Bailey love their puppy treats, but Bailey is much better at doing what she is told. Bailey typically earns 3 treats to Buckley's 1 treat. If Mrs. Ebert handed out 16 treats in one afternoon, how many treats did Buckley get?

Buckley typically earns 1 treat for every 3 treats Bailey earns. Thus, Buckley earns 1/3 of the treats Bailey earns.
If Bailey received a total of 16 treats, Buckley would receive 1/3 * 16 = 16/3 = <<16/3=5.333333333333333>>5.33 treats.
However, since treats cannot be divided into fractions, we must round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, Buckley would receive 5 treats in this scenario.
So the correct answer is 5.

Since Bailey typically earns 3 treats for every 1 treat that Buckley earns, we can set up the equation:
3x + x = 16
Combining like terms, we get:
4x = 16
Dividing both sides by 4, we find:
x = 4
This means Buckley received 4 treats. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.
To find out how many treats Buckley got, we first need to determine the ratio between the number of treats Bailey received and the number of treats Buckley received.
Given that Bailey earns 3 treats to Buckley's 1 treat, we can express this as a ratio: 3:1.
We add these two numbers in the ratio (3 + 1 = 4) to find the total number of parts.
Then, we divide the total number of treats (16) by the total number of parts (4) to find the value of one part.
16 ÷ 4 = 4
So, one part of the ratio is equal to 4 treats.
Since Buckley receives one part in the ratio, he would receive:
1 part × 4 treats = 4 treats
Therefore, Buckley received 4 treats.
