Answer 1

Buckley typically earns 1 treat for every 3 treats Bailey earns. Thus, Buckley earns 1/3 of the treats Bailey earns.

If Bailey received a total of 16 treats, Buckley would receive 1/3 * 16 = 16/3 = <<16/3=5.333333333333333>>5.33 treats.

However, since treats cannot be divided into fractions, we must round down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, Buckley would receive 5 treats in this scenario.

So the correct answer is 5.

Answer 5

Since Bailey typically earns 3 treats for every 1 treat that Buckley earns, we can set up the equation:

3x + x = 16

Combining like terms, we get:

4x = 16

Dividing both sides by 4, we find:

x = 4

This means Buckley received 4 treats. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.
