Question

If someone had five cookies and decided to divide it by four people how much cookies would each person get.

Answer 1

Someone has 5 cookies and wants to divide it by 4 people. If you would like to know how many cookies will each person get, you can calculate this using the following step:

5 cookies / 4 people = 5 / 4 = 1.25

Result: Each person will get 1.25 cookie.

Answer 2

5÷4=1 1/4
So, each person will get 1 full cookie and a 1/4 (quarter). 
1/4 × 4 = 5
