Question

Ayanna bought three dozen donuts from Dunkin Donuts. She wants to share these between herself and three friends. How many donuts will each person get? Show work and explain how you got the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok... So there are 12 donuts in a dozen. And if she bought 3 dozen, she will have 36 donuts. If she plans to share them with her 3 friends, there will be 4 people total sharing the donuts. Then all you have to do is divide the 36 donuts among the 4 friends. 36/4=9. So they will all get 9 donuts.

3(12)/4=x

36/4=x

9=x

x=9

Answer 2

3 dozen is equal to 12 times 3 because 1 dozen equals 12. So it would be 36 donuts in total.

there are three friends and herself so that’s 4 people.

so you would divide 36 by 4 and your answer would be 9
