A cookie recipe calls for 2/3 of a cup of flour and makes half a dozen cookies. How many cookies can you make if you have 9 cups of flour and want to use it all?
I came up with an answer of 81 cookies by using a proportion.
2/3 over 6 (because half a dozen cookies is 6 cookies) = 9 over x
Then I cross multiplied and got 2/3x = 54
Divided and got 81 = x
Am I anywhere close?
Thank you.
