Pia uses 6 cups of sugar to make 8 pies at that rate, how much sugar will it take to make 12 pies

Answer 1

9 cups of augar

Explanation:

6 and 8 divided by 2 equals 3 and 4. 4x3 equals 12 so 3x3 equals 9.

Answer 2

9 cups

Explanation:

If it takes 6 cups to make 8 pies, then that makes a fraction of 6/8. For this question, you simplify it down to 3/4, and plug in your numbers. 3/4 needs to become x/12, 4 times 3 makes 12, so 3x3 makes 9. 9 (cups) / 12 (pies).
