Answer:

You will need 3 cups peanut butter to make 36 dogs treats.

Peanut butter Cup : The dog treats made = 1: 12

Explanation:

12 dog treats = 1 cup

So, by UNITARY METHOD

1 dog treat = (1/12) cup

So, 36 dog treats = 36 x (1/12) cup = 3 cups

So, you will need 3 cups peanut butter to make 36 dogs treats.

If 1 cup = 12 Dog Treats

then 1 x 3 cup = 12 x 3 dog treats

or, 3 Cups = 36 dog treats

The ratio of the Peanut butter cup : The dog treats made = 1: 12
