Question

Mrs. Johnson baked 2 dozen cookies. Two-thirds of the cookies were oatmeal. How many oatmeal cookies did Mrs. Johnson bake?

Answer 1

GIVEN:

Total number of cookies made by Mrs. Johnson

= 2 × 12 = 24 cookies

(Note: 1 dozen = 12)

SOLUTION:

2/3 of the total number of cookies were oatmeal

I.e, Number of oatmeal cookies = 2/3 × 24

= 2 × 8

= 16

∴ Mrs. Johnson made 16 oatmeal cookies

Answer 2

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since a dozen equals 12, you have to first do 2 x12 since Mrs Johnson made 24 cookies.

2.Then do 24 divided by 3 which equals 8.

3.Then you do 8 times 2 to get your answer.
