Question

A recipe for 12 cupcakes uses 2/3 cups of sugar. The number of cupcakes is directly proportional to the amount of sugar. How many cupcakes can you make with 3 cups of sugar?

help please!! i need an answer before may 7th

Answer 1

The answer would be 54 cupcakes summing up to the 12 cupcakes and the 2/3 cups and the 3 cups of sugar

Answer 2

54 cupcakes

Explanation:

You would see how much sugar goes into each cupcake which is 1/18 cups of sugar in each cupcake, next you would see how many cupcakes you can make by turning the total 3 cups of sugar into an improper fraction of 54/18, then you would see how many times 1/18 can go into 54/18 which is 54 times meaning that with 3 cups of sugar you can make a total of 54 cupcakes.
