Answer: Since each recipe makes 28 cookies, tripling the recipe would give him 28(3) = 84 cookies.

Step-by-step explanation: Since each recipe makes 28 cookies, tripling the recipe would give him 28(3) = 84 cookies.

Then divide the total number of cookies by the number of guests: 84 21 = 4. Each person would get 4 cookies.

This process can be modeled by the expressions 28(3) ÷ 21 and

28(3)

21

. This is because the fraction bar represents division.
