Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Kayden- 6 cookies; Kayah-9 cookies; Michelle-9 cookies and Kayla- 12 cookies

Step-by-step explanation: There are 36 cookies. Kayden gives $2-  or pays for 1/6 of the cookies (2/12= 1/6) The decimal for 1/6 is 0.16, so 36 x 0.16= 5.88 rounded up to 6 cookies. Kayah contributed $ 3- or pays for  1/4 of the cookies. (3/12= 1/4) The decimal for 1/4 is 0.25, so 36 x 0.25= 9, so Kayah and Michelle each get 9 cookies. Kayla gives $4- or pays for 1/3 of the cookies (4/12= 1/3) The decimal for 1/3 is 0.33, so 36 x 0.33= 11.88 rounded to 12.
