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

Question

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.
