Question

A recipe calls for 2 eggs per 1 cup of flour. Jasmine uses 6 cups of flour. How many eggs does Jasmine need?
3 eggs
4 eggs
8 eggs
12 eggs

Answer 1

To find out how many eggs Jasmine needs, we start with the ratio given in the recipe, which is 2 eggs for every 1 cup of flour.

Jasmine is using 6 cups of flour. We can calculate the number of eggs she needs by multiplying the number of cups of flour by the number of eggs per cup:

\[
\text{Number of eggs} = \text{Cups of flour} \times \text{Eggs per cup} = 6 \, \text{cups} \times 2 \, \text{eggs/cup} = 12 \, \text{eggs}
\]

So, Jasmine needs **12 eggs**.
