Colleen is making a batch of 48 cookies. She's going to add 108 chocolate chips and one-third as many M&Ms to the whole batch. What are the average number of chocolate pieces in each cookie?
First find the total number of M&amp;Ms: 108 chocolate chips / 3 chocolate chips / 1 M&amp;M = 
<gadget id="calculator">108/3/1</gadget>
<output>36</output>
36 M&amp;Ms.
Then add that number to the number of chocolate chips to find the total number of pieces of chocolate: 36 M&amp;Ms + 108 chocolate chips = 
<gadget id="calculator">36+108</gadget>
<output>144</output>
144 chocolates.
Then divide the total number of chocolates by the number of cookies to find the number of pieces of chocolate per cookie: 144 chocolates / 48 cookies = 
<gadget id="calculator">144/48</gadget>
<output>3</output>
3 chocolates/cookie.
