c - 5=8

c×8=5

c÷ 8=5

c+8=5

Answer 1

The correct equation would be c = 5 x 8.

Explanation: Let's assign the variable c to represent the total number of cookies Amelia baked. She was able to give 5 cookies each to 8 friends, so the total number of cookies given away is 5 x 8. Therefore, the equation representing this situation is c = 5 x 8.
