Answer 1

Miranda has 24 cookies
24/3=8 , 8 represents 1/3 of the cookies
chocolate chip are two thirds 8*2=16

Answer 2

Hey there
SO we know that the total amount that she brought is 24 cookies.
we also know that 2/3 of the cookies are choco chip.
So to find the answer we need to divide 24/3 which gives us 8 so one third of 24 is eight if we multiply 8 by two we get 16 which is 2/3 of 24.
