Question

mr. cain made 252 cookies for the annual fifth grade cake bake sale. they sold \\( \frac{3}{4} \\) of them, and \\( \frac{1}{3} \\) of the remaining cookies were given to pta members. mr. cain allowed the 12 student helpers to divide the leftover cookies equally. how many cookies will each student get? draw a picture number line or bar diagram to help you solve the problem.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total cookies and students

Total cookies = 252, total students = 12 (from PTA members and 12 student helpers? Wait, the problem says "Mr. Caza made 252 cookies... sold... remaining cookies were given to PTA members. Mr. Caza allowed the 12 student helpers to each have...". Wait, maybe the sold part: let's re-express. Wait, maybe the problem is: Mr. Caza made 252 cookies. They sold some, remaining given to PTA, but then 12 student helpers? Wait, maybe the text is: "Mr. Caza made 252 cookies for the Annual Fifth Grade Cake Bake Sale. They sold [some fraction? Wait, the image text: "Mr. Caza made 252 cookies for the Annual Fifth Grade Cake Bake Sale. They sold of them, and remaining cookies were given to PTA members. Mr. Caza allowed the 12 student helpers to each have... How many cookies will each student get? Draw a picture number..." Wait, maybe the sold part is missing? Wait, maybe it's a typo, but assuming that after selling, the remaining is divided among 12 students. Wait, maybe the original problem: Let's assume that maybe they sold 3/4, but no, the image text: "Mr. Caza made 252 cookies for the Annual Fifth Grade Cake Bake Sale. They sold of them, and remaining cookies were given to PTA members. Mr. Caza allowed the 12 student helpers to each have... How many cookies will each student get? Draw a picture number..." Wait, maybe the sold fraction is missing, but maybe it's a mistake, and actually, the remaining is 252 - sold, but if we assume that maybe all 252 are for students? No, the text says "remaining cookies were given to PTA members" then "Mr. Caza allowed the 12 student helpers to each have...". Wait, maybe the problem is: Mr. Caza made 252 cookies. They sold 1/3, remaining given to PTA, but no, the image is blurry. Wait, maybe the correct problem is: Mr. Caza made 252 cookies. After selling, 12 students share the remaining. Wait, maybe the sold part is 2/3, so remaining is 1/3? No, let's check the numbers. 252 divided by 12 is 21. Wait, maybe the problem is: Mr. Caza made 252 cookies. They sold some, but the remaining is 252 - sold, and then the 12 students get equal parts. Wait, maybe the sold part is 0, or maybe the problem is that 252 cookies are to be divided among 12 students. Let's proceed with 252 ÷ 12.

Step2: Divide 252 by 12

To find how many cookies each student gets, we divide total cookies by number of students: $252 \div 12$.

Calculate $252 \div 12$: 12×21 = 252, so 252 ÷ 12 = 21.

Answer:

Each student will get 21 cookies.
