• 2.75

• 3

• 2

• 2.5

Answer explanation

Imagine 11 cookies and 4 hungry friends. How many cookies does each friend get if they divide fairly without crumbs? It's not quite enough for 3 cookies each, so they settle for 2 whole cookies apiece, leaving 3 crumbs behind. The // operator is like their fair division, resulting in 2.
