Question

Maggie is making muffins with a recepie that yields 18 muffins. There are 12 people in Maggie's book club. If the muffins are divided evenly among each person, how much will each person get?

Answer 1

1 1/2 of a muffin. This is true because she has 18 muffins. There are 12 people to distribute to. So you divide. 18 divided by 12 is 1.5 or 1 1/2.
