Question

Sarah is making cookies for her school party. The recipe calls for 9 cups of flour to make four batches of cookies. If each batch of cookies uses an equal amount of flour, how many cups of flour should Sarah use for each batch of cookies?

A) 2.25 cups of flour per batch
B) 3 cups of flour per batch
C) 2 cups of flour per batch
D) 2.5 cups of flour per batch

Answer 1

Sarah should use 2.25 cups of flour for each batch of cookies as determined by dividing the total flour needed by the number of batches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many cups of flour Sarah should use for each batch of cookies if the recipe requires 9 cups of flour for four batches. To find the amount of flour per batch, we divide the total amount of flour by the number of batches.

9 cups of flour ÷ 4 batches = 2.25 cups of flour per batch.

Therefore, Sarah should use 2.25 cups of flour for each batch of cookies.
