On average, 2 will fall apart. We can tell this by making a proportion. 

1/20 = x/40 ---> cross multiply
1*40 = 20*x ---> multiply
40 = 20x ----> divide by 20
2 = x

Answer:

2 cookies would be fall apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

1 of every 20 cookies falls apart.

Thus, we can write,

20 cookies = 1 cookie fall apart,

2 × ( 20 cookies ) = 2 × (1 cookie fall apart ),

⇒ 40  cookies = 2 cookies fall apart

Hence, if 40 cookies were made, 2 cookies would be fall apart.
