PROBLEM:

You and your two siblings are going to split a batch of twenty four cookies, you being the smartest get 3/8 of the batch, your brother and sister will have to split remaining 5/8. How many cookies does each person get?

SOLUTION:

  • Get the [tex] \frac{3}{8} [/tex] of 24.

[tex] \frac{3}{8} \times 24 = \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{24}{1} \\ \\ \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{24}{1} = \frac{72}{8} \div 8 = 9[/tex]

YOU'LL GET 9 COOKIES.

  • Get the [tex] \frac{5}{8} [/tex] of 24.

[tex] \frac{5}{8} \times 24 = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{24}{1} \\ \\ \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{24}{1} = \frac{120}{8} \div 8 = 15[/tex]

  • Divide 15 by 2 since your two siblings will split from [tex] \frac{5}{8} [/tex] of 24.

[tex]15 ÷ 2[/tex] = [tex] \frac{15}{2} [/tex]

YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER WILL GET [tex] \frac{15}{2} [/tex] COOKIES.
