Answer:

8 scoops of flour

Explanation:

It asks for you to solve using unit rates so we need to find out the rate of how much flour you need to bake a single cookie since the question is about how many scoops of flour Shelby needs to bake 64 cookies.

So first, do 6/48, which is 1/8.

It takes 1/8 scoop of flour to bake one cookie.

Unit rate: 1/8 scoop of flour per cookies.

Now, we can multiply 1/8 by 64 since 64 is the number of cookies Shelby needs and 1/8 is the amount of flour for one single cookies. 1/8 * 64 = 8.

Shelby needs 8 scoops of flour to bake 64 cookies
