Answer: 4.8 cookies are made per one cup of sugar

2.5 cups of sugar per dozen

Explanation:

To calculate unit rate you would use the ratio 24/5=?/1.

When you divide 24 by 5 you get 4.8. This is how many cookies can be made with one cup of sugar.

If it takes 5 cups of sugar to make TWO dozen cookies, and you are looking for how many cups of sugar it would take to make one dozen, you would then split 5 in half to be 2.5 cups of sugar per dozen.
