Answer:

Miranda can bake 30 cookies with 6 scoops of flour.

Explanation:

The rate is 5 cookies for every scoop of flour. to figure this out we need to divide 15 by three, to get 5, so the rate ends up being 5:1

Next, to find out the number of cookies, we need to multiply 5 by 6 to get 30. Therefore, Miranda can bake 30 cookies.
