Amelia bake some cookies. She was about to get five cookies each to eight friends without having any cookies left over how could you set up this problem as an eye algebraic equation to find out how many cookies Amelia baked in total?

Answer 1

Let "x" represent the total number of cookies baked by Amelia. Since she wants to distribute 5 cookies to each of her 8 friends without having any leftovers, we can set up the equation:

8 * 5 = x

Simplifying,

40 = x

Therefore, Amelia baked a total of 40 cookies.
