Answer:

13.7 cookies per cup

Explanation:

Here, we want to write the constant of proportionality that relates the number of cookies to the

number of flours.

What we do

simply here is to divide the number of cookies by the number of cups of flowers

That would be;

y/x = 48 cookies/3.5 cups = 13.7 cookies per cup
