Question

Ethan’s cookie recipe uses 3 cups of sugar to make 21 cookies. Mia’s recipe uses 4 cups of sugar to make 24 cookies. Who's recipe has more sugar per cookie?

Answer 1

Alright, so ethan’s cookies would be 21 cookies per 3 cups of sugar. So you would do 21/3 to find you get 7 cookies per one cup of sugar

Then Mias cookies are 24 cookies per 4 cups of sugar. You would do 24/4 to get 6, so 6 cookies per cup of sugar.

Mia’s cookies make less cookies per cup of sugar, so they’d have more sugar in them.

Mia- 6:1
Ethan- 7:1
