Flour to sugar....u have 3 1/2 cups of flour and 1 1/4 cups of sugar (not sure if u mean brown or granulated...but either way, they are the same)...so ur ratio can be 3.5 cups to 1.25 cups.....or it can be 7/2 cups to 5/4 cups...depends on if u want it in decimals or fractions. to compare the 2 quantities....um...3 1/2 cups flour > 1 1/4 cups sugar ====================== how many cups of flour do u need for each egg.... 3 1/2 cups of flour.....and 2 eggs (7/2) / 2 = 7/2 * 1/2 = 7/4 or 1 3/4.....so u need 1 3/4 cups of flour per egg <== ======================== I am having trouble reading ur rate table....but if 3 dozen (36 cookies) requires 2 teaspoons, then....
the strategy used was a proportion : 36/2 = (number of cookies) / x...I just subbed in number of cookies and solved for x (number of teaspoons). ======================= How many cookies do u need to sell to earn at least 60% of 120 ? and 40% of 120 ?
so if this relates to ur other question....then u r selling ur cookies at 1.60 for 4 cookies.....that means 1.60/4 = 0.40 per cookie
60% of 120 = 0.60(120) = 72 0.40x > = 72 x > = 72/0.40 x > = 180.....u would have to sell at least 180 cookies
40% of 120 = 0.40(120) = 48 0.40x > = 48 x > = 48 / 0.40 x > = 120....u would need to sell at least 120 cookies
