Question

I am in dire need of assistance in figuring out this confusing problem involving division and multiplication. I could greatly benefit from the help of someone who is more knowledgeable than myself.

Answer 1

Emma can divide her 48 cupcakes into 8 batches, with each batch containing 6 cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emma has 48 cupcakes and wants to divide them equally into batches, where each batch consists of 6 cupcakes. To determine how many batches Emma can make, we need to divide the total number of cupcakes by the number of cupcakes in each batch.

Total number of batches = Total number of cupcakes ÷ Number of cupcakes per batch

Total number of batches = 48 cupcakes ÷ 6 cupcakes/batch

Total number of batches = 8 batches

Therefore, Emma can make a total of 8 batches of cupcakes with 48 cupcakes.
