Kamal baked 132 cookies with 11 scoops of flour. How many scoops of flour does Kamal need in order to bake 168 cookies? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Question

scoops

Answer 1

To find the number of scoops of flour Kamal needs to bake 168 cookies, we can set up a proportion:

132 cookies / 11 scoops = 168 cookies / x scoops

Cross-multiplying, we have:

132 * x = 11 * 168

Simplifying, we get:

x = (11 * 168) / 132

x = 14

Therefore, Kamal needs 14 scoops of flour to bake 168 cookies.
