I think it might be asking to say that the variable b represents the number of bags.
Ms. Sue
We don't have enough information to know the number of bags. It could be any of the 8 numbers above.
Check to see if there's more information given in the problem.

I think it is trying to say to write an algebraic expression. So you don't have to have a constant for the number of bags, but a variable.

Your expression is, 48/b because you are splitting 48 rolls into bags, which we do not have an exact number as of right now.
