1 sack of flour contains 21 cups. It takes 3 cups of flour to make a batch of cookies. How many batches of cookies can you make with TWO sacks of flour?

the answer would be 14...
1 sack = 21 cups.
so 2 sacks would equal 42 cups because 21x2= 42
and it takes 3 cups of flour to make ONE batch of cookies. So 42 divided by 3 is 14. And that’s how you get your answer.

Answer:

14 batches

Explanation:

If 1 sack of flour = 21 cups, and 1 batch of cookies need 3 cups, all you have to do is find out how many batches can be made with 1 sack and double the number:

3 × _ = 21

21 ÷ 3 = 7

7 × 2 = 14

You can make 14 batches of cookies with 2 sacks of flour.

Hope this helped.
