Question

A recipe uses 2 cups of flour to make 18 cupcakes. How much flour is needed to make 27 cupcakes?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this by setting up ratios

$\frac{2 cups}{18 cupcakes} = \frac{x}{27 cupcakes}$

cross multiply:

$(2)(27) = 18x$

$54 = 18x$

solve for x

$x = 3 cups$
