Question

Markes recipe for 24 cookies calls for 2½ cups of flour.How much flour will markes need to make 60 cookies?​

Answer 1

6 1/4 cups of flour

Explanation:

24/2 = 12

2.5/2 = 1.25

12 x 5 = 60

1.25 x 5 = 6.25 cups

For every 24 cookies Markes needs 2.5 cups of flour. So, for 12 cookies he needs half of that which is 1.25 cups. 12 is a fifth of 60, so we multiply 1.25 by 5 which gives us 6.25 cups of flour. :D
