Question

Angela baked 5 batches of lemon sugar cookies with 17.5 cups of flour. She also made 3 batches of vanilla cookies using 11.25 cups of flour. Which type of cookies required more flour per batch?

Answer 1

vanilla cookies require more flour per batch

vanilla cookies = 3.75 cups of flour per batch
lemon sugar cookies = 3.5 cups of flour per batch

Step-by-step explanation:

lemon sugar cookies -
divide # of cups by the # of batches
17.5/5= 3.5

vanilla cookies -
divide # of cups by the # of batches
11.25/3= 3.75

to double check:
multiply 3.75 by 5 and you will see 5 batches of vanilla cookies will use 18.75 cups
and 5 batches of lemon cookies takes 17.5 cups

hope this helps !!!
