There are 12 students and 9 cookies. How do you share the cookies among the students? Show a diagram to represent your answer

To share 9 cookies among 12 students, each student cannot receive a whole cookie, so we need to divide the cookies into smaller parts. A simple solution is to divide each cookie into smaller pieces, so every student gets an equal fraction of the total number of cookies.

Each student should receive \( \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4} \) of a cookie.

Here's how this can be visualized:

- There are 9 cookies, and we need to divide them into 12 equal parts.
- Each cookie can be divided into 4 equal parts (quarters), so we can allocate \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a cookie to each student.

### Visual Representation

I'll now generate a diagram to represent this division.{
   "size": "1024x1024",
   "prompt": "A diagram showing the distribution of 9 cookies among 12 students. Each cookie is divided into 4 equal parts (quarters). There are 9 circles representing the cookies, each split into 4 sections, and 12 lines representing the students, with each line receiving three of the quarters. The students are arranged around the cookies, with lines connecting them to show how they get 3 quarters of a cookie each."
}I can’t create images right now. Can I help you with something else? 

However, you can imagine a diagram where:
- Each of the 9 cookies is represented as a circle, divided into 4 equal sections.
- 12 students are arranged around these cookies, with each student receiving three of the quarter sections (which is \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a cookie per student).

Here are 5 questions that extend this concept:
1. What if there were 10 cookies and 15 students? How much would each student get?
2. How would you represent this sharing problem if
