To determine how many cookies each person gets when sharing 24 cookies equally among 6 people, you perform a division operation. You take the total number of cookies, which is 24, and divide that by the number of people, which is 6.

The calculation is:

24 cookies ÷ 6 people = 4 cookies per person.

This means that each individual receives 4 cookies. This method of division is fundamental in arithmetic reasoning, particularly in problems involving equal sharing or distribution where the total amount needs to be split evenly among a certain number of participants. Each part must be the same size, and in this case, the equal share amounts to 4 cookies for each person.
