Question

If the recipe calls for 4 cups of oats for 15 cookies, then how many cups of oats will he need for 10 dozen cookies? Note: there are 12 cookies per dozen.

Answer 1

For 10 dozen cookies, you would need 32 cups of oats. Step by step:

Explanation:

1 dozen = 12 cookies

10 dozen cookies = 120 cookies ( multiply 10 *12)

15 cookies *8= 120 cookies

If for every 4 cups of oats you have 15 cookies, then you need to multiply 4 by 8 to get it equal to the amount of 120 cookies. If you multiply 15 by 8, then you multiply 4 by 8, which gets you 32 cups of oats.

Hope this helps!
