Final answer:
To find how many cookies Jayden can bake with 4 scoops of flour, we can set up a proportion using the fact that the relationship is directly proportional. By cross multiplying and solving for x, we find that Jayden can bake 20 cookies with 4 scoops of flour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many cookies Jayden can bake with 4 scoops of flour, we need to use the fact that the relationship between the number of cookies and the number of scoops of flour is directly proportional. Since we know that Jayden baked 15 cookies with 3 scoops of flour, we can set up a proportion to find the answer.
Let's call the number of cookies Jayden can bake with 4 scoops of flour as x. We set up the proportion as follows:
3 scoops of flour / 15 cookies = 4 scoops of flour / x cookies
We can cross multiply and solve for x:
3x = 60
x = 20
Therefore, Jayden can bake 20 cookies with 4 scoops of flour.
