Question

Sonya is baking cookies. The table below shows the

relationship between the number of batches of cookies
she bakes and the number of cups of sugar she uses
6
Based on the relationship shown in the table, how
many more cups of sugar does Sonya use to bake 9
batches of cookies than to bake 3 batches of cookies?
12
13/
Number of
Batches
194
Number of Cups
of Sugar

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer would be C, 13 1/2

This is because the question is asking for how many MORE cups of sugar instead of the TOTAL.

Therefore, you would take the amount of sugar in 9 batches (20 1/4 grams) and subtract it by 6 3/4

Answer 2

To find the number of cups of sugar Sonya uses to bake 9 batches of cookies, we can use the equation provided in the table: Number of cups of sugar = 2 * Number of batches. Plugging in n = 9, we get 2 * 9 = 18 cups of sugar.

To find the number of cups of sugar Sonya uses to bake 3 batches of cookies, we can use the same equation: Number of cups of sugar = 2 * Number of batches. Plugging in n = 3, we get 2 * 3 = 6 cups of sugar.

Therefore, Sonya uses 18 - 6 = 12 more cups of sugar to bake 9 batches of cookies than to bake 3 batches of cookies.
