Dexter makes 20 cookies. He eats 6 of the cookies and takes the rest to school. What fraction of the cookies does he take to school? Give your answer in its simplest form.

He takes 14 out of the 20 cookies, therefore it’s 14 over 20.

but in its simplest form it’s 7 over 10 :)

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
