Answer:
117 cups
Explanation:
two dozen cookies calls for 234cups of sugar
2 dozen cookies = 234 cups of sugar
How much sugar is needed to make one dozen cookies?
Let x = cups of sugar needed
1 dozen cookies = x cups of sugar
2 dozen cookies : 234 cups of sugar = 1 dozen cookies : x cups of sugar
2 : 234 = 1 : x
2 / 234 = 1 / x
Cross product
2*x = 234 * 1
2x = 234
x = 234 / 2
= 117 cups
