48 kilograms of flour will be used to bake cookies in 8 days.

Explanation:

Since 4 kilograms of the flour is used to bake cakes out of 10 kilograms, subtract: #10-4=6#. Therefore, 6 kilograms of flour is used daily for baking cookies since "the rest is used for baking cookies." Multiply #6# by #8# to represent the amount of flour used in 8 days.. #48# kilograms!
Hope this helps! :)
