Question

A sugar cookie recipe that makes 3 dozen cookies requires 2 1/2cups of powered sugar. if you want to make enough cookies so that each of 30 students in you child's class gets exactly two cookies, how much powdered sugar will you need? (can someone help me to put it into a proportion

Answer 1

well well well

Answer 2

this comes down to being able to cook really

Answer 3

3*12 cookies = 2.5 sugar

Answer 4

2 for each 30 kids mean u ned to make
60 cookies so
60 = (3*12)*60/((3*12)) = 2.5*(60/(3*12))

Answer 5

60 cookies = (3*12)*60/((3*12)) cookies = 2.5*(60/(3*12)) sugar

Answer 6

basically you see
how many times more 60 is than 3 dozen
and thats manytimes more sugar u need

Answer 7

3 dozen = 3*12 = 36
now.... 60 is 60/36 times more than 36
since
36 * 60/36=60

so we are going to need
60/36 times more sugar

we need 2.5 sugar cups for 3dozen or 36 cookies so
we need
2.5*60/36 sugar cups for 60 cookies
