Question

How much cookie dough will each friend get if 1 1⁄2 pounds is split between 4 friends?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of cookie dough per person equals total weight of dough divided by total number of people

1 1/2 equals 3/2

so amount of cookie dough per person equals 3/2 divided by 4

Equals 3/2 x 1/4

Equals 3/8 pounds

So each friend gets 3/8 pounds of cookie dough
