Sagot :

Chatton

Answer:

Aries originally had 48 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

2 is half of 4

4 is 1/4th of 16

16 is 1/3rd of 48

check work by reversing steps:

Aries had 48 cookies, she gave 1/3 (16) to Ana. Ana gave 1/4th (4) to Edna, and  Edna gives 1/2 (2) to Ruth.

Ruth has 2, so the work is correct.
