The number of cups of flour varies directly as the number of rolls made. Four cups of flour are needed to make 24 rolls. How much flour is needed for 36 rolls?

To find your answer you need to use the cross product method :

24 rolls → 4 cups of flour
36 rolls → x cups of flour

⇢ (4 • 36) ÷ 24 = x

⇢ 144 ÷ 24 = x

⇢ 6 = x


⇨ So your answer is: You need 6 cups of flour to make 36 rolls!

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻
