Amelia baked some cookies. She was able to give five cookies each to 8 friends without having any cookies left over. How could you set out this problem as an algebraic equation to find out how many cookies are merely baked in total?
Based on the calculations, the extra amount of flour John put in is 13/40 cups.
Let's set the total number of cookies baked as x.
We know Amelia was able to give 5 cookies each to 8 friends. So, the number of cookies given to the friends is 5 * 8 = 40.
Since Amelia didn't have any cookies left over, we can set up the equation:
x - 40 = 0
This equation represents the statement "The total number of cookies baked (x) minus the number of cookies given to friends (40) equals zero."
Let's denote the number of cookies Amelia baked as "x".
Since Amelia was able to give five cookies each to 8 friends without any leftovers, the total number of cookies given to her friends can be found by multiplying the number of cookies given to each friend (5) by the total number of friends (8). This can be represented as:
Total number of cookies given to friends = 5 * 8 = 40
As there were no cookies left over, the total number of cookies baked must be equal to the total number of cookies given to her friends. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
x = 40
Therefore, the algebraic equation to find out how many cookies Amelia baked in total is x = 40.
To set up an algebraic equation for this problem, we can let "x" represent the total number of cookies Amelia baked.
Given that she was able to give five cookies each to 8 friends, this means that she gave away a total of 5 * 8 = 40 cookies.
Since she did not have any cookies left over, the equation can be written as: x - 40 = 0.
Rearranging this equation, we have: x = 40.
Therefore, Amelia must have baked a total of 40 cookies.
no r u dumb
I apologize if my previous response was not what you were looking for. Could you please provide clarification or specific guidance on how you would like to approach this problem algebraically?
do it again
Let's denote the total number of cookies Amelia baked as "x".
Amelia gave five cookies each to 8 friends, so the total number of cookies given to her friends is 5 * 8 = 40.
Since there were no cookies left over, the total number of cookies baked must be equal to the total number of cookies given to her friends. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
x = 40
This equation represents the statement "The total number of cookies baked (x) equals 40."
Hence, the algebraic equation to find out how many cookies Amelia baked in total is x = 40.
john is cooking cupcakes. The recipe calls for three and 3/10 cups of flour.He accidentally puts.In three.And five.Eight cups of flour. How many extra cups did he put in?
To find out how many extra cups of flour John put in, we need to subtract the amount called for in the recipe from the amount he actually used.
The amount called for in the recipe is three and 3/10 cups of flour, which can be written as 3 + 3/10 = 3.3 cups.
The amount John actually used is three and five-eighths cups of flour, which can be written as 3 + 5/8 = 3 + 40/8 = 3 + 5 = 8 cups.
To find the extra amount of flour John put in, we subtract the amount called for in the recipe from the amount he used:
8 cups - 3.3 cups = 4.7 cups.
Therefore, John put in an extra 4.7 cups of flour.
