Question

another fifth grade isssue for my kid
Josh and his dad are baking chocolate chip cookies for his boy scout troops jamboree there will be 98 people at the event and josh wants every one to be able to eat 2 cookies
(a) how many cookies will they need to bake
(b) how many dozen cookies will that be I came out will 198 cookies by multiplying 98 x2 but im stuck

Answer 1

98x2 is not 198 its 196
to find how many dozen, divide 196 by 12 (because theres 12 in a dozen)

Answer 2

etempline i did divide it by 12c but ti comes up to 16.3

Answer 3

you want to make sure theres enough for everyone, so round up to 17 dozen
if you make 16 dozen, not everyone is going to get 2 cookies
