Question

Jane is baking cookies for a large party. She has a recipe that will make one batch of two dozen cookies, and she decides to make five batches. To make five batches, she finds that she will need 12.5 cups of flour and 15 eggs. Write an equation to describe each of the following situations.

Then solve the problem.

Answer 1

b = 24 cookies (2 dozen) 5b = 5(24) = 120 cookies (10 dozen) 1 batch makes 24 cookies, so 5 batches makes 120 cookies. For 5 batches, she needs 12.5 cups of four and 15 eggs For 1 batch, she needs : 12.5/5 = 2.5 cups of flour. 15/5 = 3 eggs I am sorry that I didn't really make an equation.

Answer 2

Answer: One batch makes 24 cookies. 5 batches make 120

24 x 5 = 120

Then for 5 baches you need 12.5 cups of flour you divide 12.5 divided by 5 = 2.5 cups for each batch

Then for 5 batches you need 15 eggs. Divide 15 divided by 5 = 3

3 eggs in each batch
