<u>ANSWER:</u>
Kari bought 3 boxes of cookies to share. The algebraic expression is ![\frac{36}{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7Bx%7D)
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, Kari bought 3 boxes of cookies to share with a book club.
Each box contains 12 cookies.
So, in total we have 3 x 12 cookies = 36 cookies.
Now, we have to find how many cookies can each person p will get.
Let, the total number of persons be x.
Then, after equally sharing the cookies,
![\text { Number of cookies with each person }=\frac{\text {number } of \text { cookies available.}}{\text {total number of persons}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%20%7B%20Number%20of%20cookies%20with%20each%20person%20%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Ctext%20%7Bnumber%20%7D%20of%20%5Ctext%20%7B%20cookies%20available.%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%20%7Btotal%20number%20of%20persons%7D%7D)
![=\frac{36}{x} \text { cookies. }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7Bx%7D%20%5Ctext%20%7B%20cookies.%20%7D)
Hence, the algebraic expression is ![\frac{36}{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7Bx%7D)
