To find out how many cookies Erin can bake with 8 scoops of flour using unit rates, first, we need to determine the unit rate of cookies per scoop of flour from the initial information provided.
Erin baked 60 cookies with 6 scoops of flour. We can find the number of cookies per scoop of flour by dividing the total number of cookies by the number of scoops of flour:
\[ \text{Cookies per scoop} = \frac{60 \text{ cookies}}{6 \text{ scoops}} = 10 \text{ cookies per scoop} \]
Now that we know Erin can make 10 cookies for every scoop of flour, we can find out how many cookies she can bake with 8 scoops of flour:
\[ \text{Cookies with 8 scoops} = 10 \text{ cookies/scoop} \times 8 \text{ scoops} = 80 \text{ cookies} \]
Thus, with 8 scoops of flour, Erin can bake 80 cookies.
