GPT 3.5
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion by comparing the number of cookies to the amount of flour needed.
Let's call the amount of flour needed for 90 cookies "x". We can set up the following proportion:
4 cups of flour / 60 cookies = x cups of flour / 90 cookies
Cross-multiplying, we get:
60 * x = 90 * 4
Simplifying, we have:
60x = 360
Dividing both sides by 60, we find:
x = 6
Therefore, to make 90 cookies, you will need 6 cups of flour.
