Question

a biscuit recipe calls for 3/5 cup of flour and makes 24 biscuits.

How many biscuits can you make if you have 15 cups of flour?
15 / ( 3 / 5 ) = 15 • 5 / 3 =

75 / 3 = 25

25 • 24 = 600

OR

3 / 5 cup of flour / 24 biscuits =

( 3 /5 ) / 24 = 3 / 24 • 5 =

3 • 1 / 3 • 8 • 5 = 1 / 8 • 5 =

1 / 40 cup of flour / one biscuit

15 / ( 1 / 40 ) = 15 • 40 / 1

600 / 1 = 600
