To determine how many cookies can be made with 2 cups of flour, we can use a proportion.
We know that when using 4 cups of flour, 8 cookies are made. Therefore, the ratio of cups of flour to cookies is 4/8.
We can set up the proportion:
4 cups / 8 cookies = 2 cups / x cookies
To solve for x, we cross-multiply and divide:
4x = 16
x = 4
Therefore, with 2 cups of flour, you will be able to make 4 cookies.
In a 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?
