amanda used 3/4 cup of sugar to make 2 dozen cookies. how much sugar is in each cookie?

1 answer

To determine how much sugar is in each cookie, we need to divide the total amount of sugar used (3/4 cup) by the number of cookies made (2 dozen).

First, we need to convert 2 dozen into a single number. Since 1 dozen is equal to 12, then 2 dozen is equal to 2 x 12 = 24 cookies.

Next, we divide the total amount of sugar used (3/4 cup) by the number of cookies made (24 cookies).

3/4 cup รท 24 cookies = 1/8 cup of sugar per cookie.

Therefore, each cookie contains 1/8 cup of sugar.
