Basil gets 1/2 of a dog cookie in the morning and before bed. She gets 2 whole cookies during the day. Basil’s cookies are packaged with 45 cookies per box. How many boxes will she need to last her for 30 days? Give me reasons, before answering the question

Basil gets 1 / 2 in the morning and 1 / 2 at bedtime so she gets 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 1 whole cookie. Basil also gets 2 whole cookies during the day so all total she gets 2 + 1 = 3 whole cookies. She needs cookies for 30 days and eats 3 a day so she needs 30 * 3 = 90 cookies. Her cookies come 45 per box and she needs 90 cookies so she needs 90 / 45 = 2 boxes of cookies. So the final answer is 2.
