Answer:

(3/4) cups

Explanation:

It is given that,

Lindsey's cookie recipe uses 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar to make 2 dozen cookies.

We need to find how much brown sugar should Lexi use to make only 1 dozen cookies.

2 dozen cookies = 1 1/2 cups

= 3/2 cups

For 1 dozen cookies,


((3)/(2))/(2)\\\\=(3)/(4)\ \text{cups}

So, to make 1 dozen cookies, she will need (3/4) cups of brown sugar
