Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take away the 8 cookies that were not part of the 3 boxes.

(50 - 8 = 42)

Now we know that 3 boxes of cookies can hold 42 total cookies. However, we need to know how much cookies 1 box can hold. If the 42 cookies are divided evenly between the 3 boxes, our equation would look like this:

42/3 = 14

Therefore, the answer is 14 cookies in each box.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3b+8c=50c

3b=50c-8c

3b=42c

b=14c

So there are 14 cookies in each box.

5/8 divided by 3/4 what the answer

Answer:

20/24. Simplified answer is 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 divided by 3/4 is the same as asking 5/8 times 4/3

When dividing a number by a fraction, you can always just multiply by the fraction with its numerator and denominator switched!

So, now we have 5/8 times 4/3

Step 1: Multiply the numerators together. 5 times 4 = 20

Step 2: Multiply the denominators together. 8 times 3 = 24

Step 3: Put the new numerator over the new denominator. 20 over 24 is 20/24

Step 4: Simplify the fraction if necessary. 20 and 24 share a common factor of 4, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 4.  

20 divided by 4 = 5

24 divided by 4 = 6

So, 20/24 is equal to 5/6.
