Question

Rasputen and his three buddies are splitting a giant 18 inch cookie. But notice 1/4 of it is missing. If each person gets the same amount of the giant cookie what is the actual size of their piece?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each of them will get 3.375 inches of cookie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rasputen and his three buddies are splitting a giant 18 inches cookie.

But they notice that $\frac{1}{4}$th of it is missing.

So, the actual length of the cookie is $18[1-\frac{1}{4} ]=18 \times \frac{3}{4}=13.5$ inches.

If all the four of them get the same amount of the giant cookie then each of them will get $\frac{13.5}{4} = 3.375$ inches of cookie. (Answer)
