Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we start with 2 dozen = 2 * 12 = 24 cookies

next, cole eats 2/3 of the cookies

2/3 of the cookies = 2/3 * 24 = 16

we are then left with

original # - # of cookies cole ate = 24 - 16 = 8

next, jim eats 1/4 of the cookies left

cookies left = 8

1/4 of cookies left = 1/4 * 8 = 2

cookies left - cookies jim eats = cookies still in jar = 8 - 2 = 6
