Answer:

For the first blank box, it would be 2, and for the second blank box, 40

Explanation:

As we are told, we need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 cookies. We can make this simple by figuring out how many cookies we can make with one stick of butter.

To do this is easy: 24 divded by 3 = 8

So 8 cookies per stick of butter

16 cookies would be 2 sticks of butter (as 8 x 2 is 16, and there's 8 cookies per butter stick)

and with 5 sticks of butter, we do (5 x 8 ) which equals 40

Hope this helped !
