Question

Rej is baking cookies for his office's holiday party. Each batch of cookies needs 0.4 cups of sugar and 0.01 cups of cinnamon. If each batch can bake 12 cookies and Rej is making 72 cookies, how much sugar AND cinnamon does he need?

Answer 1

Rej will need 2.4 cups of sugar and 0.06 cups of cinnamon in total to bake 72 cookies, as he is making 6 batches and each batch requires 0.4 cups of sugar and 0.01 cups of cinnamon.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much sugar and cinnamon Rej needs for baking 72 cookies, we need to first calculate how many batches of cookies will be made from 72 cookies. Since each batch makes 12 cookies, we divide 72 by 12, which equals 6 batches.

Now, since each batch requires 0.4 cups of sugar and 0.01 cups of cinnamon, we multiply these amounts by the number of batches:

• Sugar needed: 0.4 cups/batch × 6 batches = 2.4 cups
• Cinnamon needed: 0.01 cups/batch × 6 batches = 0.06 cups

Rej will need 2.4 cups of sugar and 0.06 cups of cinnamon to make 72 cookies.
