Question

theo wants to use a cookie recipe that makes 36 cookies but he wants to reduce the numbers of cookies to 24. if the recipe specifies using 2 cups of sugar how much sugar would he use

Answer 1

idk the answer but i know the unit ratio is 18/1

Answer 2

one hack is 36 times 2/3=24 so 2 times 2/3=4/3 cups needed, but ok, ratio and proptoin


cookies:sugar=36:2
36/2=24/?
times both sides by 2?
36?=48
divide both sides by 36
?=48/36
?=24/18
?=12/9
?=4/3


1 and 1/3 cups
