Break fast =  1/4
Tea time =  3/5
Still 18 left.

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) = 

1/4 + 3/5 =  (1/4)*(5/5) + (3/5)*(4/4) = 5/20 + 12/20 = (5 + 12)/ 20

 = 17/20

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) =  1 - 17/20 = (20 - 17)/20 = 3/20

Fraction left = 3/20

Assuming total number of cookies in the package is x.

(3/20)x = 18

3x/20 = 18

3x = 18*20

x = 18*20/3 = 120

There were 120 cookies in the package.

Ok so
1/4 of total eaten
3/4 left
3/5 of 3/4 eaten
9/20 left
18=9/20 of whole
multiply both sides by 20
360=9 of whole
divide both sides by 9
40=whole


40 total originlly

Giving out 60 points
Yuki888 [10]
If the markers are 4.5 inches away on the map, and 2.5 inches represents 10 miles, then we need to make ratios we can work with.

Inches / Miles: 

4.5 / x
2.5 / 10

Now, we can cross multiply to end up with:

2.5 * x = 4.5 * 10

Simplify:

2.5x = 45

Divide 2.5 on each side:

2.5x / 2.5 = 45 / 2.5

Simplify:

x = 45 / 2.5
x = 18

Awesome! Now we have a real ratio on the real distance of the markers.

<span>2.5 : 10  &  4.5 : </span><span>18.
</span>
18 miles is the actual distance between the two markers.

Hope I could help! If my math is wrong, or it isn't the answer you are looking for, please let me know!
<span>Have a good one!</span>
