<human>:  Colleen is making a batch of 48 cookies. She's going to add 108 chocolate chips and one-third as many M&Ms to the whole batch. What are the average number of chocolate pieces in each cookie?
<bot>: How many M&Ms are there? ** First find the total number of M&Ms: 108 chocolate chips / 3 chocolate chips / 1 M&M = <<108/3/1=36>>36 M&Ms
How many chocolates are there? ** Then add that number to the number of chocolate chips to find the total number of pieces of chocolate: 36 M&Ms + 108 chocolate chips = <<36+108=144>>144 chocolates
How many chocolates are there per cookie? ** Then divide the total number of chocolates by the number of cookies to find the number of pieces of chocolate per cookie: 144 chocolates / 48 cookies = <<144/48=3>>3 chocolates/cookie
