Answer:

120 minutes or 2 hours I think

Explanation:

ok so you want to figure out how many hours it will take for her to bake 48 cookies. It takes 15 minutes to bake 6 cookies.

So 6x8=48 cookies.

Multiply 15 minutes times 8 since one batch of cookies (6) 15 minutes long and she wants to bake 48 cookies.

15x8=120

That's 120 minutes, but you want how many HOURS it takes.

there are 60 minutes on a hour so you will take 120 divided by 60

120/60= 2

To check, multiply 60x2= 120.

Hope this helps!
