Kieva made 5 times as many cookies as she did cupcakes. if she made 48 deserts in all , how many cupcakes did she make ?

Kieva made 8 cupcakes. 8 * 5 + 8 = 48 desserts.

In order to get this, you just have to try out different numbers of cupcakes and adjust based on whether it's too many desserts total, or not enough.

Another way to figure it out is to say that 1 cupcake + 5 cookies = 6 desserts. Then just divide 48 by 6 to get 8 which will then show you that Kieva made 8 cupcakes.

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.

they can both be solutions depends on the equation
