Answer:

12 cookies

Explanation:

2 1/2 cups of sugar can be simplified to 5/2 cups of sugar

If 5/2 cups of sugar = 60 cookies, and you only have 1/2 cups of sugar,

you can divide both sides by 5 to satisfy your requirements.

1/2 cups of sugar = 12 cookies

so the answer is therefore 12 cookies

Hope this helped

Sorry if its wrong
