18. 3 cups of water, convert it to pints:
![\begin{gathered} 1pint=2cups \\ \\ 3cups*(1pint)/(2cups)=1.5cups \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/dnb3bi3z7l2kntdostyom8te0py4ffv8ah.png)
To make a double recipe she needs to use 2 pints of water.
Then, the 3 cups of water Cheryl has measured are not enought for a double recipe.
19. The recipe uses 1/2 cup of cornstarch
To make 15 time the recipe the amount of cornstarch is:
![15*(1)/(2)cup=7.5cups](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/bfvegqu3d597j55itoretqm42m4f24t16q.png)
Convert the 7.5cups to tablespoons:
![7.5cups*(16tbsp)/(1cup)=120tbsp](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/by9uwarc70nvxtnlluq80gdujxjehyd497.png)
Then, to make 15 times the recipe Cheryl needs to use 120 tablespoons of cornstarch
