Question

Rene operates a small cafe. People come from mile around to taste Rene's light, fluffy homemade biscuits. A biscuit recipe that makes 12 biscuits requires two cups of flower. At this rate how many cups of flower would Rene need to make 96 biscuits?

Answer 1

Well if it takes Rene two cups of flower to make 12 biscuits then you would need to find out how many sets of 12 biscuits are in 96 biscuits and that would equal 8 sets so then for each set you need two cups of flour so multiply 8 by 2 and your answer is 16 cups of flour needed!

Answer 2

48 cups of flour! Because 96 goes into 2, 48 times
