Question

“A baker plans to make 8 cookies for each guest at a party. The letter g represents the number of guests at the party.”

Write an expression to represent how many cookies the baker should make.

Answer 1

Answer: 8g, where g represents the number of guests at the party.

Explanation:

Given: Number of cookies per guest = 8

Also, letter g represents the number of guests at the party.

So total cookies made for guest =( Number of cookies per guest )x (Number of guests)

i.e. Total cookies made for 'g' guest = 8g

An expression to represent how many cookies the baker should make.= 8g
