10) Bonnie's recipe calls for 4 cups of brown sugar for every 3 cups of good old granulated sugar. If she needs 24 cups of brown sugar, how much total sugar will she need?​

The answer was 32cups of sugar. Each 3 cups of granulated sugar need 4 cups of brown sugar. 24/3=8 8x4=32

Answer:

42 cups total

Explanation:

24 cups of brown sugar / 4 cups = 6

3 cups of good old granulated sugar * 6 = 18 cups

24 cups of brown sugar and 18 cups of granulated sugar

24 + 18 = 42 cups
