Identify what you know and what you need to find out.?

Question

You are making cookies for a bake sale & need to make enough to fill 24 boxes containing 6 cookies each. How many dozen cookies do you need to make?

Answer 1

24*6 = 144

144/12 = 12...so you need 12 dozen.

Answer 2

12

Answer 3

What you know:  How many cookies fill each box.  How many boxes you have.  How many cookies are in a dozen.

What you need to find out:  How many dozen cookies will fill all of your boxes.

24 boxes of 6 cookies each is the same number as 12 boxes of 12 cookies each.  12 cookies is a dozen, so you'll need to make 12 dozen cookies.

I hope this helps.
