Answer 1

18 cups of sugar

Explanation:

I don't see any answer choices in your post but assuming it she has to use 3 cups of sugar for every 2 cups of flour, then that would mean she has to use 3/2 cups of sugar for every 1 cup of flour.

So if she uses 12 cups of flour she will have to use (3/2) x 12 = 18 cups of sugar
