butter cookies. 1/6 of the cookies are iced sugar cookies. 3/8 of the cookies are chocolate chip cookies. The rest of the cookies are oatmeal cookies. How many cookies are oatmeal cookies?

Answer 1

To find the fraction of cookies that are oatmeal cookies, first determine the fraction of cookies that are either iced sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies: 1/6 + 3/8 = 4/24 + 9/24 = 13/24
Then subtract this fraction from 1 to find the fraction of cookies that are oatmeal cookies: 1 - 13/24 = 11/24
Finally, convert this fraction to a whole number to find how many cookies are oatmeal cookies: 11/24 * 24 = <<11/24*24=11>>11. Answer: \boxed{11}.
