texaschic101 · Answer

1b (or just b) = 24 cookies (2 dozen)
5b = 5(24) = 120 cookies (10 dozen)

1 batch makes 24 cookies, so 5 batches makes 120 cookies.(or 10 dozen)


For 5 batches, she needs 12.5 cups of four and 15 eggs
For 1 batch, she needs :
12.5/5 = 2.5 (or 2 1/2) cups of flour
15/5 = 3 eggs

I am sorry that I didn't really make any equations....
@ganeshie8 ..what would the equations be ?

ganeshie8 · Answer

for a,  i wudnt make any equations either...

ganeshie8 · Answer

if they insist for equations,


d = 12
b = 2d

c = 5b
   = 5(2d)
   = 5(2(12))
   =120
