Question

Which of the following correctly represents 100 cookies divided among 8 children?

• A. 12.25 cookies per child
• B. 12.5 cookies per child
• C. 15 cookies per child
• D. 12 cookies per child

Answer 1

The correct option is B

12.5 cookies per child

$\text{Total number of children}=8$
$\text{Total number of cookies}=100$
Number of cookies to be distributed to each child
$=\frac{\text{Total number of cookies}}{\text{Total number of children}}$
$=\frac{100}{8}$
$=12.5$ cookies per child
