A recipe that makes 18 cookies calls for 3/4 cup of sugar. How much sugar is needed to make 24 cookies using this recipe?

4 answers

One way to solve it is to first change 3/4 to 0.75

Set up a proportion, cross multiply, and solve for x.

18/0.75 = 24/x

18x = 18
x = 1 cup
16
HERE, 18 COOKIES NEED 3/4 CUP SUGAR
-> 1 COOKIE REQUIRE (1/18)*(3/4)=1/24 CUP SUGAR
-> 24 COOKIES REQUIRE 24*(1/24)=1 CUP SUGAR.
