Question

You are making cookies for a bake sale and need to make enough cookies to fill 24 boxes containing 6 cookies each. How many dozen cookies do you need to make?

Answer 1

To make enough cookies to fill 24 boxes containing 6 cookies each, you need to make 12 dozen cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many dozen cookies you need to make, you need to divide the total number of cookies by 12.

In this case, there are 24 boxes with 6 cookies each, so the total number of cookies is 24 x 6 = 144.

Dividing 144 by 12 gives us 12 dozen cookies.

Answer 2

how many cookies do you need?

wait a second, we can make this easier
1 dozen=12 cookies
1/2 dozen=6 cookies=number of cookes per box

so you need to fille 24 boxes with 1/2 dozen each

so 24 times 1/2 dozen=12 dozen

you need 12 dozen or a dozen dozen cookies
