    1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48.

    The number of bags she can make are shown in the table: Number of CC cookies in each bag12346812162448 Number of bags48241612864321 Since the number of cookies that goes in a bag is a factor of the total number of cookies, all the factors of 48 are listed in the first row of the table. Each column corresponds to a situation where the 48 cookies are divided equally among some bags, and the product of the numbers in each column is 48. The number of bags is also a factor of the total number of cookies.

    Well how many bags? I would say find the factors of 48. You could do four bags with twelve cookies each. Or six bags with eight cookies each.
