Question

One batch makes 3 dozen cookies. The recipe calls for 3/4 cup brown sugar. How many cups of brown sugar would you need if you wanted to make 7 dozen cookies

Answer 1

1 3/4 cups

Explanation:

The number of cookies is increased by the ratio 7/3, so the ingredients are expected to increase by the same ratio:

7/3 × 3/4 cup = 7/4 cup = 1 3/4 cup

1 3/4 cups of brown sugar are needed for 7 dozen cookies.
