Question

a recipe calls for 4 teaspoons of cinnamon to make 2 dozen oatmeal cookies .how many teaspoons of cinamon are needed to make 60 oatmeal cookies?

Answer 1

Teaspoons of cinnamon needed for 60 cookies

`= 60( (1)/(6) ) \\ = 10`

Thus, 10 teaspoons of cinammon is needed for 60 oatmeal cookies.
