Question

In a batch of 6 cupcakes 3 oz of butter are used in a batch of 40 cookies 2lbs of butter are used is there more butter in a cupcake or a cookie

Answer 1

Explanation:

To compare the amount of butter in a cupcake and a cookie, we need to convert the units of measurement to the same unit.

3 ounces is equivalent to 0.1875 pounds (since 1 pound = 16 ounces). So each cupcake contains 0.1875/6 = 0.03125 pounds of butter.

2 pounds is equivalent to 32 ounces (since 1 pound = 16 ounces). So each cookie contains 32/40 = 0.8 ounces of butter, which is equivalent to 0.05 pounds.

Therefore, there is more butter in a cookie than in a cupcake.
