Question

Victor baked 66 cookies with 11 scoops of flour. With 14 scoops of flour, how many cookies can Victor bake? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

? cookies

Answer 1

84 cookies

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use cross multiplication:

`(11)/(66)=(14)/(x)`

66 * 14 = 924

11 * x = 11x

924 = 11x

924 ÷ 11 = 11x ÷ 11

84 = x

With 14 scoops of flour, Victor can bake 84 cookies.

Another way to solve this problem is to find how many cookies you can bake per cup of flour. To find this, divide the amount of cookies by the amount of cups of flour:

66 ÷ 11 = 6

You can make 6 cookies with 1 cup of flour.

So, to find how many cookies Victor can make with 14 cups, multiple 6 by 14:

6 * 14 = 84

Victor can make 84 cookies with 14 cups of flour.

Answer 2

84 Cookies

Explanation:

11/66= 14/x

11x=66*14

Solve for x

x=84
