since they are making 16 = 1/3 * 48 cookies, they will use
1/3 * 134 = 42 2/3 cups of butter
Howie and Steve are making cookies for themselves and some friends. The recipe are using will make 48 cookies, but they only want to make 16 cookies. They have no trouble reducing the amounts of flour and sugar, but the original recipe for 134 cups of butter. Help Howie and Steve determine how butter they will need
