To find out how much more flour than sugar is used to make a batch of cookies, we first need to find the difference in the amounts of flour and sugar used.
2 1/2 cups of flour is equal to 5/2 cups of flour.
1 2/3 cups of sugar is equal to 5/3 cups of sugar.
The difference in the amounts of flour and sugar used is:
5/2 - 5/3 = 15/6 - 10/6 = 5/6
Therefore, 5/6 cups more flour than sugar is used to make a batch of cookies.
To determine the amount of flour needed to make 36 cookies, we need to multiply the amount of flour needed for one batch of cookies by 3 (since 36 cookies is 3 times the amount of cookies in one batch).
5/2 cups of flour x 3 = 15/2 = 7 1/2 cups of flour
Therefore, 7 1/2 cups of flour will be needed to make 36 cookies.
One batch of a dozen cookies requires 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 2/3 cups of sugar.
How much more flour, than sugar, is used to make a batch of cookies?
Determine the amount of flour that will be needed to make 36 cookies.
