Question

1. Rachel made 48 cookies and gives 5 to each of her friends. Write an equation to represent how many cookies Rachel will have left.


2. If Rachel has 4 friends, how many cookies will she still have?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 48 - 5f = c

2. 48 - 5(4) = 48 - 20 = 28 cookies

Step-by-step explanation: 1. Rachel loses 5 cookies for each friend she has, so f can represent the number of friends she has times 5. C represents the number of cookies she will have after giving them away.

2. If she has 4 friends, that means she will give away 20 cookies because 5 times 4 is 20. This means she will have 28 cookies for herself because 48-20 equals 28.
