Question

ina recipe 4 cups of flour makes 8 cookies if you only have 2 cups of flour how many cookies will you be able to make

Answer 1

To find out how many cookies you can make with 2 cups of flour, we can set up a proportion based on the ratio of cups of flour to the number of cookies made.

4 cups of flour = 8 cookies
2 cups of flour = x cookies

Using cross multiplication, we can find the value of x:

4 cups * x cookies = 2 cups * 8 cookies
4x = 16

Now, let's solve for x:

x = 16/4
x = 4

So, with 2 cups of flour, you will be able to make 4 cookies.
