Question

maggie is baking 8 dozen cookies. the recipe she is using makes 24 cookies. she needs 2/3 cup of flour for one recipe. how much flour will she need?

Answer 1

Answer: 2 2/3 cups of flour

Explanation:

Maggie is baking 8 dozen cookies.

8 dozen is equal to 96 cookies as 8×12=96

One recipe is equal to 24 cookies and for each recipe she'll need 2/3 cup of flour.

So you divide 96 by 24 which is equal to 4.

Therefore, you will need 4 recipes worth of flour.

4×2/3=2 2/3

So Maggie would need 2 2/3 cups of flour
