Question

Jess used 11 1/2 cups of flour to make 3 1/2 batches of oatmeal cookies. One batch makes 24 cookies. If Jess follows the same recipe, how many cookies can she make with 16 1/2 cups of flour.

Answer 1

72

Explanation:

3 1/2 = 3.5

16 1/2 = 16.5

16.5/3.5 = 4.71428571429

round down because she can't make like 7/10 of a cookie
