Answer 1

To determine which cookie yields more cookies from one cup of sugar, we need to closely analyze the options provided.

• Cookie A makes either 80 or 40 cookies.
• Cookie B makes either 36, 40, or 72 cookies.

From the responses, the only combination that shows Cookie A consistently making more cookies is:

• Cookie A makes 80 cookies, and Cookie B makes 36 cookies.

However, we also observe another response:

• Cookie A makes 40 cookies, and Cookie B makes 36 cookies.

From this analysis, the definitive and strongest claim is that Cookie A indeed makes more cookies than Cookie B, especially in the scenario where it yields 80 cookies.

Thus, the correct selection based on the provided options is: Cookie A makes more cookies than Cookie B from one cup of sugar. Cookie A makes 80 cookies, and Cookie B makes 36 cookies.
