Answer 1

This question does not require a sketch to calculate how much cookie each friend would be getting

Answer and explanation:

Given that Jared has 3 cookies and 5 friends

Jared has decided to divide each cookie into 5 and share among 5 friends

We calculate how many cookies in total Jared would get if he divided each cookie into 5 parts where there are 3 cookies = 3 cookies × 5 parts = 15 divided cookies

Jared has 5 friends, therefore to divide 15 cookies among 5 friends, we get:

15/5= 3 cookies for each friend
