Question

A cookie recipe calls for ¾ cups of sugar. The recipe makes 20 cookies. How much sugar is required to make 80 cookies

Answer 1

3 cups of sugar.

Explanation:

80/20 = 4 batches

3/4 cups x 4 = 3 cups of sugar

Answer 2

So based on the given problem above, it says that, for one batch with 3/4 cup of brown sugar can make 6 dozen big cookies. If we are to make 15 dozen cookies, what we need to do is to divide 3/4 cup of brown sugar by 6 dozen, and we get 0.125. This means that per dozen, it is equivalent to 0.125 cup of brown sugar. If we multiply it by 15 dozens, we get 1.875 cup or 1 and 7/8 cup of brown sugar.
