Question

You are making cookies for a bake sale and Need to make enough cookies to feel 24 boxes containing six cookies each. How many dozen cookies do you need to make? Write a verbal model and use it to solve problem.

Answer 1

24 boxes

6 cookies each

How many dozen cookies do you need

Because theres 24 boxes and there's 6 cookies in each you multiply 6 by 24. That gives you 144. Then because it's asking for dozen (12), you divide 144 by 12 which gives you 12.
