Dylan has a recipe that uses 18 cups of flour to make two dozen cupcakes. If he only has 4.5 cups of flour how many cupcakes can he make?

Two dozen cookies = 12 + 12 = 24
18/24 = 4.5/x
4.5 * 24 = 108
108/18 = 6 cupcakes
Yes
6 cupcakes
that would depend on the tax rate and discount, I guess.
But for the cookie stuff,
x/4.5 = 24/18
x = 6

or, 1/4 the flour, so 1/4 the cupcakes: 6
