Question

Josiah baked 24 cookies. He gave 1/6 of them to his family before he took them to his friend's house. How many cookies did he give his family?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

1/6 can be represented as a percentage 1 divided by 6 = 0.1667...multiply that by 24 and you get 4 with a few decimals that round up to four as you would not want to give them a partial cookie....

Answer 2

4 cookies

Explanation:

24 x (1/6) = 24/6 = 4
