Question

Let’s figure out one more adjustment for the butterscotch chip cookies. The butterscotch chip cookie recipe calls for 12 ounces of chips for every 2 cups of flour. How many ounces of chips are needed if 3 cups of flour are added?

Remember to keep your units consistent.

Answer 1

I believe it would 18 ounces of chips for 3 cups of flour. If you take half of 12 ounces then you get 6 ounces per cup of flour. Adding 6 ounces to the 12 would get us the total of the 18 ounces.
