1 answer

To find the number of cookies that can be made with 1.5 cups of chocolate chips, we can set up a proportion:

1.5 cups of chocolate chips / A cookies = 2 cups of chocolate chips / 36 cookies.

Cross-multiplying, we have:

1.5 cups of chocolate chips * 36 cookies = 2 cups of chocolate chips * A cookies.

Simplifying, we get:

54 cookies = 2A.

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:

A = 54 cookies / 2 = 27 cookies.

Therefore, 27 cookies can be made with 1.5 cups of chocolate chips.
