48H = 120 - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Jocelyn can bake 48 cookies per hour. She needs to bake 120 total cookies and has already baked 24 cookies. Which equation and answer shows the number of hours (h) it will take for her to bake the rest of the cookies?

Total cookies to bake = T

Number of cookies baked per Hour = B

Number of cookies already baked = C

Number of hours it will to bake Remaining cookies = H

(cookies baked per Hour)*(Baking Hrs) = Total cookies to baked - cookies already baked

BH = T - C

T = 120   C = 24   B = 48

=> 48H = 120 - 24

=> 48H = 96

=> H = 2

2 Hr required to bake the rest of the cookies
