Write your answer as an expression.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope this helps you.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cookies = 96 cookies

No. of grandchildren = 8

Let the number of cookies Cindy got be $x$ .

∴ No. of cookies Cindy should receive = $\frac{96}{8}$ = $x$

∴ $x$ = 12

∴ Had all of the cookies been evenly divided among the 8 grandchildren, Cindy would receive 12 cookies.
