Question

Miranda baked 15 cookies with 3 scoops of flour. With 6 scoops of flour, how many cookies

can Miranda bake? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

She can bake 30 cookies with 6 scoops of flour because the unit rate is 5 cookies per scoop of flower so 5:1

Answer 2

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.
