Question

It takes 1 bag of chocolate chips to make

72 cookies. How many bags does it take to make
18 dozen cookies?

Answer 1

3 bags of chocolate chips

Explanation:

72 cookies is equal to 6 dozen cookies. 18÷6 = 3. So, we have to multiply the 1 bag of chocolate chips by 3 to get the total amount of chocolate chips. 1×3=3 so it takes 3 bags of chocolate chips to make 18 dozen cookies.

Answer 2

3 bags

Explanation:

a dozen of cookies means 12 cookies.

18 dozen cookies= 18(12)= 216 cookies

1 bag ----- 72 cookies

216 cookies ----- 216 ÷7= 3 bags

Method 2:

1 bag ----- 72 cookies= 6 dozen cookies

(since 72 ÷12= 6)

For 18 dozen cookies,

number of bags

= 18 ÷6

= 3
